Yes, I bought the kit. Changed out the trigger but then halted at the cock on opening mod as it required a wee bit of grinding with the dremel. Eventually struck up the courage and ground away, slowly.The convertion overall was excellent.

If the OP's is a Dayton Traister, due to the grinding out in the bolt, I am not sure if another after market trigger will fit and operate correctly. Unfortunately, my P14 with the DT trigger/cock on opening is long gone so I cannot examine it.
@Friwi would you know.

Otherwise, a good smith should be able to gas weld it back together. I'm wondering at the metal composition as it snapped like a carrot rather than belt. Cast?
