Help me understand what is wrong with my black powder rifle. The hammer has no tension on it.?
This is a percussion blackpowder rifle. It has the typical lock and hammer with trigger and hair set trigger. All the triggers work, just there is no tension on the hammer when it is released to come forward. I did not know if it needs a whole new lock or what. Any ideas on how to fix this?
It sounds like a broken mainspring to me. Can't be sure without seeing it. Traditionaly designed locks have a leaf type mainspring. Many of them are manufactured in Italy and thier heat treating is hit or miss and I've seen quite a few brittle springs from them. Remove the lock from the stock (most come out easily with the removal of two screws) and it should be easy to tell if the spring is broken or not. The main spring is the big V shaped spring. Some traditonaly styled rifles have a more modern design with coil springs but there is seldom a problem with them.
