Hi everyone, this is my first post, I recently was gifted a Thomson Center Hawken flintlock. I have noticed that when the hammer is all the way forward and in half cock the rear set trigger "flops" forward and backward with no tension on it. When it is a full cock I can set the rear teigger and everything appears fine. This is the first issue.
The second issue is occurs when cocking the hammer. When the hammer is at half cock and I begin to pull it back to full cock 2 clicks occure. The first one does not catch anything and if you let it go it will either fully de cock or go back to half cock. The second click occurs when the hammer reaches full cock and stays there as it should.
I would imagine that these 2 issues are probably related but i am not totally sure. PLEASE HELP!! If anyone has had this issue before and/or know how to fix it please respond ASAP! Thank you! I will be using thus beautiful rifle during the PA flintlock season and the muzzleloader season next year. I will probably crack open the lock and trigger assembly soon
