Looking at the 6 o'clock position of the action,there are 2(TWO) stake marks(safety lever side) to keep trigger group pins from walking.
Insert front pin first to install trigger housing & sear into receiver.
Position bolt stop in receiver,captivate bolt stop spring with rear pin,swing trigger group up into action,depress sear into housing,push rear pin through.</div></div>
Thanks, good to know. On another forum, I read the following regarding reassembling the trigger itself:
<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Tip: if you have a plastic spray tube (aerosol lube & cleaner, etc.) available, then it is approximately the same or smaller diameter of the retaining pin holes; cut it to the same width as the trigger assembly and insert in forward hole first, then depress top and insert same in rear hole. The plastic inserts, especially if smaller in diameter than the hole, will hold tension of spring, will keep everything in place, and will slide out easily when you insert retaining pins (you will not need three hands to reassemble).</span> </div></div></span>
Pretty slick little trick.
