Transfer Bar Problem
« on: March 16, 2013, 02:50:40 AM »
I'm having a problem when cocking the hammer on my model 157.  The transfer bar hangs up on the rear of the firing pin.  If I point the muzzle in the air gravity will cause the transfer bar to fall back and miss the firing pin letting the hammer be cocked.  Do I have a weak spring?

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ON MY 45-70 LAST FALL, THE HINGE PIN ON THE TRANSFER BAR WAS BENT. TIME FOR A TEAR DOWN.  DAN

T-bar needs repair/replacement, Numrich had em last I looked, use the trigger work info in the FAQs, Perklo's has detailed info on the t-bar.

There is a chamfer on the firing pin side that is supposed to aid it to lift past without snagging the pin; you might have a little 'lip' or burr there?
