1894cl .218bee
« on: August 13, 2011, 03:51:56 AM »
Pulled my 1894cl (.218 bee) out of the safe to do a little plinkin'.  Got to the range, loaded up, and when I chambered a shell the hammer wouldn't stay back. I played around with it a bit, but couldn't get it to stay cocked. It functioned fine the last time I shot it. Does anybody have any suggestions on what to look for or where to start. Thanks

The sear in the trigger is gummed up.
 
Remove the three screws (two bottom and one side) in the trigger assembly and remove and clean it.  Likely oil has gummed up the works..
