hey guys, I have been looking for a Dixie Tennessee mountain rifle for a long time and I bought one online last week. It got here today and there is a problem with the lock. The hammer/cock is very hard to pull back and when at full cock it easily falls forward without pulling the trigger.
I removed the lock to make sure it wasn’t interference from the trigger/set trigger. I fiddled with the screws on inside of lock and it seemed to help but still not right. The sear looks fine. Don’t see a lot of wear or anything broken.
Also the hammer has play (can be moved back and forth) when in full cock. Hopefully an easy fix?? Thanks
