Hello a newbie here from NSW. Have acquired this little rarity that refuses to keep the hammer at lock using the lower trigger(it is supposed to).Can feel the sear blade “slip”. Have honed sear and hammer slot to make sure they are aligned. Am thinking that years of wear on the hammer and trigger group mounting screws have widened the gap between the two assemblies.?
If anyone is able to shed some light on this little problem I would be most grateful, please answer here/email me anytime, thanks in anticipation. Regards, Geoff.
