As per title, the trigger on my trade-gun is "loose" when it is on full-cock.
The gun has only one trigger (no set trigger, etc), and I did take the lock out of the gun to clean it when I shot it last Thursday. I've been practicing dry-firing the gun (with a wooden mock-flint in the jaws), and I've noticed that the trigger has a definite "jiggle" when the hammer is set to full-cock. (And when the lock is disengaged, aka when the hammer is down and frizzen open. At half-cock, the trigger is rock-solid, as I understood it was supposed to be)
It doesn't interfere with the action of the gun, the lock still goes BANG (or, with the wooden bit in the jaws, CLACK) when I pull the trigger from full-cock, and I don't notice any issues with it in the hand when dry-firing.
After taking the lock out, I "put it back" by just fitting it into the recesses of the stock, putting the lockplate screws back in, and making sure everything functioned (aka the lock worked when the trigger was pulled from full-sock).
Am I overthinking the "looseness" of the trigger? I mean..... the gun works.....
