OK - again new guy. So learning a lot here.
So I am getting the TC 50 Cal Hawken ready for my first deer season here.
Been over my fireplace for 6 months since I bought the gun - took out once and fired three times. Couldnt hit a tree.
Anyways - I noticed that the hammer would not lock into place. Not in full position cocked - half or anything. Only would rest on the firing nipple.
So I worked the gun a bit - back and forth - setting and re-setting the triggers and started to hear some metal click noises - then after a few times she started to lock back in. Sorta seems ok but I am concerned now that she may not hold firm and could fire "on her own".
This gun is kit build from 78. How concerned should I be? Should I open it up my self and poke around in the trigger area?
Thank you for any suggestions. :bow:
