I've noticed the floating valve inside the bolt carrier is really sticky. The hammer roller has exerted alot of pressure on the underside of the bolt carrier and worn a decent groove into it even though I've been keeping the gun well lubed with silicon oil. I can't help but wonder if the inner cylinder is out of round. Would this cause a single action firing characteristic?
I cleaned the floating valve in the bolt carrier and filed down any protruding edges that I thought might be hindering it. After a light oiling and re-assembly I'm still left with a single action rifle. So I says to myself, "what else could it be?". And I knew it was me asking because I recognized my voice.

The hammer is resetting but when I pull the trigger, no joy. With the lower receiver removed I cycled the hammer but always releasing trigger pressure before reset. Then the "aha" moment. Hammer reset, pull and hold trigger and reset hammer. Release trigger and pull again. No joy! With a little bit of back pressure on the trigger it did reset.

My issue is with the trigger assembly now. A trigger that won't reset. Is this another one of the WE SCAR-L's famous inevitable breakages?

Tomorrow I'll venture into trigger dis-assembly to see what I can see.
