Anyone else having a problem with their set triggers on this old style percussion rifle? When I set the rear set trigger and then touch the front trigger to fire the hammer only goes to half cock. I have the original manual and have tried all the listed adjustments. Thanks.
take it off the firearm, degrease, oil and make sure all the screws and such are tight! I have a T/C Renegade and have had the issue! Did what i recommended and it went away for me!
Thanks mnbirdbuster. I posted this on several forums. A guy told me where to look. Just in case it ever happens to you again look for a little part called a "fly" to have worked loose under the "brindle". I was lucky to have saved my original manual with the parts list for the lock assembly. Put it back in place, lubed and tightened everything. Works like new. :z-guntootsmiley: Anyone with an old Renegade or Hawken that needs the parts list let me know. I can scan it and e mail it to you.
thanks,going to clean my 58 cal today and put it awy for another year.haven't had a prob yet with the set trigger.
Yup,clen the gun,another thing you could check is the screw that holds the trigger assembly to the stock might be too tight
