Irish Pat Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Sometimes the trigger sticks back and doesn’t move back into position after. It is fired. I can push it forward with my trigger finger but it is aggravating. Anybody ever had this happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I had one and it did the same. This from CAS City website: "The slack in the trigger is normal, on trapdoors and muskets. The internals of the lock, the sear, and the trigger, are to separate pieces. The trigger pushes up on the sear, when you pull it, and that action releases the tumbler, allowing the hammer to go forward. they all have some amount of slack."

Irish Pat Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 It is not the slack, it is not moving back forward to firing position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Following with interest. I have a H&R Trapdoor as well. Never had a problem. is this always or just occasionally? I assume the hammer won’t stay back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Pat Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 Only about every fifth time or so but it definitely breaks your rhythm of which I have very little to start with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Carefully remove the lock assembly. With it removed you can operate the trigger and see where it is rubbing on the stock. Suspect they trigger channel in the stock was not made quite right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I really think you should wait until after Trailhead to fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Pat Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 I know for sure Dave and Hoss are both right. My screwdriver keeps my gunsmith busy putting my guns back together. I better wait a little longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Pat Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 The hammer stays back when you cock it. The trigger just will not go forward all the time. I wonder if this is just something with H&R trapdoors. I have looked on the wire and looked at “you tubes” and can’t find any mention of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy B.SASS#26902 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Well you made me look, I have a H&R officers model trapdoor and the trigger on it flops around a bit, It doesn't really reset like a rifle with a trigger spring. I'd say as long as the sear engages the hammer in all three notches and releases cleanly you probably don't have a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
