broom handle hammer not locking back

That's about what I'd pay with a repro stock and holster. Especially if there is rifling (even if relined). I wouldn't pay more than $1,000 though. That's for sure. I'm sure Alvin will chip in (I have a few Broomhandles but not the same level of knowledge he does) but maybe the hammer pin is worn or not engaging properly? It's the little wishbone shaped part.

"Sear spring & hammer pivot". Very important part; stay away from Numrich repros. Try to find an original. (I got one from Alvin years ago.)
