When I pull the hammer to half or full position it doesn't always lock into position. This will occur outside of the stock so I know it isn't binding on wood. Thoughts?

1. What lock?
2. Is your sear screw or other bridle screws too tight and interfering with the free motion of the sear?
3. Is the sear spring really pressing on the arm to force the nose up?
4. Is the fly installed correctly and allowing the sear nose to pop up?

Welcome. In addition to points 2, 3 and 4 above, another thing to check is wear on the half-cock notch on the tumbler. If worn, the notch may not always catch.

Hi Folks, thanks for the responses. I pulled the fly out of one of the other lste ketland locks I had and the lock worked fine. I order a new fly.
