Gang:
Having just completed my first Button Click Sierra, I have a question: The click mechanism appears to be permanently "locked" in the depressed position. Is there a trick to remedying or avoiding this?
I followed the instructions to a tee, and was careful to exert no pressure on the clicker when pressing it into the tube, so it's not been damaged in any way. (I fashioned a jig from scrap wood similar to the one shown in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWtGikWXmzo).
It's a quality kit from a reputable dealer, and the mechanism was in this same state right out of the package. However, since I've never put one of these together before (and also remain a relative newbie), I paid it no mind – and figured it would "correct" itself once assembled.
For what it's worth, the pen turned out nicely (see image) - aside from the obvious issue.
Any thoughts on this? Have I failed to do something properly - or it is possible it's just a bad clicker mechanism?
I'd welcome any input.
In advance, thanks a bunch!
