I was bored the other night, and decided to do a bit of work on my X-Mag trigger. I was simply looking to remove some un-wanted material on the center Finger Groove and shape the bottom of the trigger a bit.
I left the Magnet and adjusting screw in the trigger so i knew about how much material to remove. Well after all was said and done I put it back together and my Xmag would not fire in E mode unless I turned the selector switch to Manual. This was the only way to get the magnet close enough to the Hall Effect Sensor to set off the solenoid.
No biggie, Just switched out the magnets and now it works fine. Just wanted to share so no-one else makes the same mistake.
I guess the sanding drum making a bit of contact with the adjusting screw was enough to De-Magnetize it. Enough that the magnet would barely pick up the sear pivot screw. A new magnet picked up every screw i had out of the marker. (3 Grip screws, frame to body screw, Sear pivot, and the field strip screw)
