Problem with transfer bar

[DBMJR1]

I went to the range today, with load devolopment in mind.  I had fifty minty .357 rounds of five different powder weights ready for accuracy testing.

The first twelve rounds went swimmingly.  Then, click.

   Thinking perhaps I didn't seat the primer all the way, I reset the hammer and , click. 

  I wait, then open the rifle and check the firing pin.  It's fine.  I put in a new round.  While defective primers are rare, they do happen.  Click.      click click click click.

Observing the action, the transfer bar comes up, but immediatly drops down as the hammer falls.




Yes.  I have taken this rifle apart.  I know that I may have not assembled it correctly, although I did try to follow the instructions at perkloafm.com.

Any help would be appreciated.

Too light a trigger will cause that exact problem, you may need to replace the trigger extension or the t-bar itself, tons of info in the FAQs on misfires and failure to fire (FTF).

yep, tha receiver that cyrus's mom sent back to brian56 for barrel work broke tha t-bar on tha 2nd or 3rd shot..........    so i robbed one from one of my spares and pay'n not much attention, i swapped it out. 2nd shot it broke again    so then i check'd internals and found that the previous owner been stone'n & grind'n eva thang inside including hammer   so its all trashed !!!!!!!!!!!
i'm intha process now to correct this BS.
so, more to come

Thanks for the replies folks.

This trigger group has NOT been worked on, other to disassemble, and reassemble it.  No stoning, filing, or dremel  tools at all.   I took it apart when I got home, and the T-bar appears to be fine.  Nothing appears to be broken.  I think I just don't have it together right?

You may have installed the lifter spring incorrectly, it's easy to do, Perklo's download shows a good pic of it installed correctly.
