Endeavor ML hammer locks up
« on: October 12, 2009, 12:11:42 PM »
I recently purchased a new Encore Endeavor ML and after a few shots when a new 209 primer is loaded, the hammer freezes up and will not cock. I have to open and close it a few times before it will finally release. I am using Winchester primers. Has  anyone had this problem and figured out a solution . Any help would be greatly appreciated. The barrel shoots less than a minute of angle accuracy and would definitely be a keeper if not for this problem.

If I understand it will cock fine until you put a primer in it. Well I would try some different primers and see if that made any difference. Then if it didn't I would try another breach plug. call T/C they would probably send you one.

I called TC today and they told me to try a different brand of primer such as Federal  or  CCI  They said this is a common problem in some Encores due to the Winchester primer being a little larger in  overall length. That being said , I purchased some  Federal 209 A primers  today and the problem was solved. Thanks for everyones help!

Happy Hunting!
