Hammer gets stuck on the half ****: diagnosis?

I would "score" the trigger plate where the tip of the fullcock notch tip rest when at full ****. (See the arrow in your pic below). Then as you pull the hammer back from the resting position, see if the halfcock notch tip "covers up" that score. If so, some filing of the halfcock notch tip would be in order.

This may take a few "file the tip", reassemble, try, file the tip, etc, etc.

Wow! Stops at half **** from full ****. I've never seen a lock without a fly. Wondered how to **** and fire a rifle without a fly.
Must be frustrating to pull a hammer from un **** through half **** to full **** only to have the hammer fall to half **** when you pull the trigger.
That's a big problem with all those **** positions.
 
That lock is so crudely made, I would start by just smoothing up the parts and see what that does. It looks like a lot of slop between the tumbler and bridle. When things aren't properly fit in the first place, it is a crap shoot.
