Re: need a fixing
Sorry, I'm having website problems. I hope to have it fixed tomorrow.
If your button "popped up", try just pushing it forward back into place.
If that doesn't work, my email is [email protected]

Re: need a fixing
Try flushing the blade tang out with lots of WD 40. If the slot in the blade is dirty, the sear will not seat well.
