G3 Sear Trip Lever

G3 Trigger Pack Part

This is the sear trip lever from the Heckler & Koch G3 fire control group, the removable trigger pack that holds the trigger, hammer and sear. As the bolt returns to battery (fully closed and locked), the bolt carrier strikes this lever, which trips the sear and lets the mechanism reset for the next shot. Armorers keep one as a spare when servicing a G3 trigger pack, and collectors add it to complete a parts set.

Features

• Genuine Bundeswehr Issue — An original German military part from the armed forces' own G3 stocks.
• Hardened Steel Construction — The lever is made from hardened steel to withstand repeated contact with the bolt carrier through every firing cycle.
• Bushed Pivot Hole — A raised ring around the main hole gives the lever a solid bearing surface where it turns on its mounting stud.
• Right-Side Stud Mount — The lever sits on a stud on the right side of the fire control group inside the trigger pack.
• Bolt Carrier Engagement — Its angled tip catches a ramp on the bolt carrier as the bolt closes, which is what trips the lever.
• Sear Release Function — Once tripped, it releases the sear, the part that holds the hammer back, so the mechanism can reset.
• 7.62x51mm NATO Platform — It belongs to the G3 rifle family chambered in the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge.
• Dark Steel Finish — The lever has the same dark finish as the other internal parts of the trigger pack.

Bundeswehr Issue

The G3 was the standard service rifle of the Bundeswehr, and this lever comes from German government stocks rather than an aftermarket maker. G3 trigger packs were made with two types of sear catch, an older friction type and a later roller type, so check which version your pack uses before ordering. Installation inside a trigger pack is a job for someone familiar with the G3 fire control group.
