GOT IT! Yep the set trigger is really heavy now. But sure enough, when I pull the front trigger, the lever flies up there and trips the hammer!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I think the amount of pressure that's needed to set the rear set trigger on a Lyman GPR is about the only bad thing I can think of about those rifles.So I don't "like" the trigger now, but at least it will be usable until I buy a Davis Deerslayer or figure something else out. Good enough for now!!!
Yes, makes sense. I did that a few times back when I started messing with it. I need to do it again as I wasn't as "educated" (LOL) as I am now. But it didn't appear to be dragging on any wood.Just a thought here to add to the madness.
Install the lock and tighten it like you do. Now take a screw driver or punch and reach up inside the trigger well and attempt to fire the rifle in this way. Pushing straight up against the sear bar to find out how much pressure it requires to trip the sear.
Where I am going with this is this. If the sear bar is catching on wood, it will be very hard to release. This would require a bit of wood removal so the sear arm is free and trips as easy as it should.
Taking nothing away from the excellent tutorials above. Just another thing to check is all.
Well, that is great to hear Zonie. I love it so far (albeit all I've done is start the troubleshooting process). Started some rasping and sanding of the stock yesterday too. This is going to be a nice looking rifle (well...if I do my part successfully).I think the amount of pressure that's needed to set the rear set trigger on a Lyman GPR is about the only bad thing I can think of about those rifles.
You can mess with the rear trigger spring tension to try to lighten it a bit to help out the bad situation but even if you find a lighter setting that reliably fires the gun, the trigger pull will be pretty hard. It's the nature of the beast I guess.
