I’ve almost finished tweaking my Jungle Lord, but I need some advice on the drop target reset plate. The fingers on the plate barely catch the edge of the drop target and after a few cycles, they slip off the edge and then no longer lift the target. Pic:

I ordered a new set of reset plates from Marco as the fingers appear much longer than mine in their pictures, but wondered if there is some secret method using my existing reset plates before I go that route.

Quoted from Rikoshay:

maybe a waste of time replying......but have you considered looking at the play between the coil plunger and coil sleeve?
those tabs definitely just look enough to make contact with the target.
i believe a new reset plate has slots cut out so as to incorporate a 'joiner' to join the 3 tabs to a bar that then rests to lift the targets?

Thanks for the reply. I haven’t checked the play between the sleeve and plunger but will do that when I replace the plates. I’m hoping the new reset plates coming have slightly longer fingers. I’ll post back with an update then.
