Trigger not cocked after firing

Steve · 11-15-2001, 02:09 AM

When you cycle the action by hand, does it fire? Use a snap cap so that you do not damage the firing pin. If it does not fire then, try one more thing. Remove the side plate and press the front of the sear bar. If it fires (DO NOT DO THIS WITH A LIVE ROUND IN THE CHAMBER!!!)you know it has cocked properly and the problem is in the trigger, trigger lever and sear bar not going into the correct postions. This will give a gunsmith more information to work with.
