well me an ol dad were out shooting our frontloaders and while i was undoubtedly out shooting him with the pea shooter then hammer refused to stay cocked. im going to call it the trip lever because i dont no what it is but it broke. it is a small bar that lies horizontal and hooks into a cam that looks the hammer back. well the edge broke so now im waiting till traditions opens up so i can get my part on order. the gun has a limited lifetime warranty so i hope this is covered.
