Rusty Cuffs Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 Well it looks like I may have a working Rifle!! Hallelujah!! It only took 2 rifles to make one that works. I pulled the hay out of the troubled rifle. When looking at the notch the sear fits into it was damaged. About 1/3 of the notch appeared missing. I pulled a hammer out of one of my old 73’s and put it into the new rifle. Now then I leaver the rifle the hammer stays back as it should. I’ll take it out tomorrow and make sure it still goes Bang! I’m a happy camper tonight! Thank you to all that responded with what to look for. I love this sport and the people that make it Great!
