Dean, that's what I'm seeing. the point on the sear seems to be worn off. The hammer is not cocked so I haven't looked at that junction when it is yet.
Has anybody taken one apart? Being a farmer, I always want to just tear into things knowing it's already broken... ![]() I did take the single trigger out of my 16ga skeet gun because the barrel selector beside the trigger would not move. Got that fixed so I can at least move it if I would want to. |

Thst is what I would guess too. The notch in the hammer looks a little shallow to me, along with the sear tip not fitting into the notch as well as the other. A little crispness in fit with the tip a little flatter would likely fix it. I would just send the lock to a companent double gunsmith and have him fix it. Nothing looks worn or broken to the point a real repair is needed.
I have a 20 gauge LC Smith that is suffering the same thing and my solution was to buy an NOS hammer for $25 on Gunbroker. I haven't fixed it yet but my locks look really simple and I have a spring compressor so the work should be pretty simple. |

The left hammer notch and trigger sear nose have been altered. Both have had the sharp angles rounded, which makes for a light unpredictable trigger pull.
Trigger pull is regulated by using mold makers stones (never a file) to adjust the angle of the tip of the sear nose. The more acute the angle, the harder the pull. The more obtuse the angle, the softer the pull. |

It is important to note too that the photo he shows are not of the gun cocked. So, it does not really show us much.

Brian, that is correct, I do plan on getting some photos up of it cocked to show everyone.
I do appreciate everyone's comments. |

Right_lock.jpg Left_lock.jpg As can be seen, the bottom picture is of the troubling lock. I think it's just that the sear needs a little stonework. Without taking it apart, the hammer appears fine. |

As a Mexican cowboy advised me about training horses, “Poquito, poquito, poquito.”

The left sear needs to be totally reshaped. The left hammer notch also looks to me like it is at a much more acute angle and shallower. Compare it to the right hammer and sear.
