T/C Renegade Set Triggers

[joey46]

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.  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.

Yup,clen the gun,another thing you could check is the screw that holds the trigger assembly to the stock might be too tight
