Airforce Texan SS AFRICAN AIR ORDINANCE?

This is my correspondence with him

The arrow in this picture indicates the metal plug with the groove cut all the way around it. There's a notch in the trigger group safety plate that the plug fits into. Somehow the plug is over traveling by a micro mm to slide under the striker release sear that is directly to the right side of the arrow. you would think the notch in the plate would prevent it from over traveling but I have inspected both pieces and cannot determine how it is happening. I see no irregular wear that would allow it. Just food for thought. Any advice is appreciated, thanks

That's the guy I've been talking to. He originally told me he completely removed it. But, later he said it continues to have issues due to his striker sear plate being bent. But, thanks for the info. We're on the right track.

Are there any score marks/scratches on the side of your hammer?

No, but just to be sure I went over it with 400 grit sandpaper and polished it up on my buffing wheel.
