I've spent the past couple weeks reading about locks (flinter) and doing some work on mine. It's a Davis and works really well, but I can cause the hammer to fall if I pull on the trigger hard enough(single, no set). Hammer won't fall when out of the stock. So....
There was some rubbing and binding in the stock. I relieved everything and now there doesn't appear to be any rubbing or binding. But still, the hammer will go off half cocked.
If it's out of the stock half cocked no amount of force I put on the sear will cause it to drop. But if I gently slide it into the stock and hold with my thumb and pull the trigger, it drops.
I cannot see any wood what-so-over getting in the way. I just don't get it!! Any ideas????
