Is there a Broomhandle Doctor in the Haus? - Runs Good!

I think it is an early prewar commercial from the little I have been able to study the matter. Here are some pics that might help, some of which show the problem with the hammer apparently failing to engage the sear, or as you say the trigger failing to disengage. Otherwise the gun works fine.

I paid attention to your plunger suggestion. I am using Titegroup, which is a pretty quick powder, a lot quicker than HS6 - gives a quicker pressure spike than the older powders the guns were designed around. Have had functioning problems with too fast a powder in a Steyr-Hahn once and had to go to HS6, but have not heard of this problem in Brooms.

Does the disconnector detail look ok to you? That spring barely catches the ledge of it, and the top is a very loose fit.
