Trigger / hammer problem... - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Any 'smiths on the boards here?

Q: Can too much oil in the hammer mechanism prevent the hammer spring from holding the hammer back, on a semi-auto?

When me and fletchusmc did range time this past Spring, the hammer wouldn't catch when cycling rounds. Working the slide by hand DID allow it to catch.

At home, I broke it down, and got some particulate jam from the hammer spring. Cleaned, oiled, and put away.

Tuesday, range time, same problem.

I'm not particularly interested in taking it to a smith; the hardware is not on paper.

It's a Type 54, '63 manufacture, that dad took from charlie in Nov. '66. So it's probably NOT a wear issue...
