Upon buying a used 23 year old Spanish 50 cal Hawken or Mtn Rifle (not sure which yet) I discovered the trigger and lock mechanisms weren't jiving well together.
Several guys posted replies and Longball58 PM'd me with just the right ideas. It was a factory built gun issue of too deep inletting on the trigger mech and having clearance probs with the lock parts not allowing full cock or sear trip.
Anywho after tweaking to just about right, I took the spanish lady out for a twirl.
I managed a couple shots...tweaked the tumbler screw a half turn and was in business. Put around 25 RBs through her just to get familiar with it. It is somewhat different of a shooter than my little TC New Englander but I like it.
Muzzle loading is one addictive shooting sport. Even with a couple of Sharps in the safe the ML comes out every time and usually a 22 for grins.
Now I'm thinking of building one.
