Is there some way of adjusting the half cock hammer position?
On one of the 54 Hawken's the hammer is too low to cap without pulling back the hammer then easing it down, not my favourite way of capping

The only way I can think of is make a new sear that has the tip longer, then both the half cock and full will be higher.

I just checked my L&R replacement lock on my Renegade, no room to cap at half cock with it either.
 
@bat119 Check your nipple. TC had an early and a late hammer on their percussion locks. The early used a longer/taller nipple and the later took a shorter nipple. You may have a later hammer with the early nipple. See the photo for the different hammers. The short TC nipple at Track of the Wolf also

Thanks,
O.R.
