Trying to reinstall hammer

[crghill]

I'm trying to reinstall my 15-22 hammer after cutting the right leg of the hammer spring to 1/4 inch. I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly. Does anyone have a good picture of the hammer installed?

Thanks!

There is a video thread at the top that links to my videos on you tube and I cover how to remove and reinstall the trigger/hammer.

And here's a photo:

Thanks...that tells me exactly what I did wrong and now it's fixed. Thanks!

You had the hammer spring turned around on the wrong side of the hammer.... Just taking a wild guess! (I cover that in my videos)

Check how your trigger pin is installed. Actually, both the trigger & hammer pins are the same part, and there are two grooves cut in it. There is a spring in the hammer that fits in the center groove on the pin to hold it in. With a regular hammer spring, one leg or the other will drop into the groove near one end of the trigger pin to retain it, doesn’t matter which way the pin goes in. Normally.

With your modified hammer spring, the long leg must be in the groove on the pin, so you may have to reverse the pin. If not, the pin will try to go bye-bye!

My videos also cover how the pins are secured.... Just saying! I think they are worth watching

I watched your video so I could take apart the FCG and I paused it just after you put the spring on wrong. Then I spent 15 minutes trying to figure out why it would not work. I kept backing up and watching your vid over and over and stopping before you say you did it wrong. LOL@myself

Teaches me to watch the whole thing before stopping and doing.

Great job on the videos!

LOL MrChicken! It's ok because I was laughing myself when I did it! Here I was trying to make an edumakational video and I screwed up right in the process! And nothing hit the cutting room floor! All footage gets aired unabated!

Thanks for the Kudos! Much appreciated
