Captain Bill Burt Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The hammer is following the bolt without you pulling the trigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.T Chambers, SASS#76185 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The cure for mine was about a quarter turn on the hammer spring tension screw, I run the springs fairly light . YMMV MTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 As stated, first fix is to tighten the hammer spring so that the sear stays in the notch of the hammer more securely. And clean the hammer/trigger/upper trigger parts. If that does not get it, then you could have a chipped/sheared off/poorly shaped/worn out tip of the sear (Uberti calls it an Upper Trigger), or even a broken full-cock notch on the hammer itself. If you are not used to doing trigger jobs, get that problem to a gunsmith. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I. M. Crossdraw, SASS# 8321 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 If the hammer is following the bolt without pulling the trigger is an accident waiting to happen. Stop shooting it and have it fix immediately. There is a possibility that your hammer/trigger sear are worn out. Increasing the spring tension to compensate for this dangerous situation will just speed up wear and tear on your sears and heaven forbid, a catastrophic accident that could result in serious injuries or even death. Out of battery discharge can happen in this kind of situation. Again, STOP and DON'T shoot that rifle until you have it fix. You may need a new trigger/hammer and needs to be stoned to the correct angle. A competent gunsmith can do it. It is not something anyone can do unless you know what you're doing. Be safe. I.M.

Ace Hanlon Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Happened with my uberti 45lc only part of the time. With rifle empty cock the hammer and then from this position pull hammer back with your thumb and slide your thumb off hammer. On my rifle the hammer would drop all the way. I needed a new sear.t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I had a worn firing pin extension that was no longer going back far enough to set the hammer, the hammer would follow the bolt back down, if I ran it really hard the hammer would stay back.. The slot where the extension pins to the bolt was worn. 33MTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
