What you may have is a missing or reversed spring. There is a small spring in there that keeps tension on the two triggers to keep them in contact with the sears. Is this the slack you speak of?

Go to the Home Page, on the left Technical Information and see part number 10 in the diagram. Also look at the trigger plate behind your triggers and there should be a flush screw coming to the bottom of the floor plate from inside the gun. If you just see a hole, the spring and screw are missing. If there is a screw apparent, the spring may have been put in reversed putting downward pressure on the triggers causing slack between them and the sears. A common reassembly problem for someone working on a gun that just does not know.

With the gun upside down and safety off and gun unloaded obviously, move the trigger as if pulling it until it contacts the sear. Let go and if it springs back up, the spring is reversed.

Very easily corrected in ten minutes if it is reversed.
