LP10 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Hey guys, quick question for you. I just installed the hennings long flat trigger on my match witness. After doing so, there is an issue with my hammer. When cocked back and dry fired, the hammer seems to be hitting the firing pin and bouncing off, resulting in the hammer being left in the half cocked position. This happens about 80% of the time when dry fired. I have not put live rounds through it with this issue yet. There was a trigger job done to the stock trigger and I put the #18 plunger in and the #16 return. Egw sear and hammer, extended firing pin, etc. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.

kneelingatlas Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think you have the overtravel screw too tight, try backing it off a hair. As a rule I depress the trigger fully, then work the hammer back and forth with my thumb and if I can feel it contacting the sear I back it off more.

Nealio Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Are you sure its "bouncing" or is it not even making it to the firing pin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP10 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Kneelingatlas - I put it all the way in and all the way out last night to see. Same results but I will try again when I get home from work. Nealio - I can see the hammer making contact and bouncing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealio Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Ok then, you need to cut a relief on the underside of the front of the hammer. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=189045&hl=%2Begw+%2Bbounce#entry2093830 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP10 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Wow, ok thank you. Heres what I don't understand though, the hammer and sear have been in the gun for awhile with the stock trigger and has never had a problem. Why would this new trigger cause the hammer to start malfunctioning? This never happened with thr stock trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kneelingatlas Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 I recently bought a 10mm Hunter with plans to build a really bad ass 6" Limited gun, obviously a .40 barrel would be ideal, but at $321 from EAA it seems like a waste, but I have an idea: I know there are some 10mm junkies out there so if anyone is interested in a 10mm compensated top end, I will do the work for you and use my 6" 10mm barrel if you buy me a 6" .40 barrel. Anyone interested in something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmbaccolyte Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I load to 1.23" cartridge overall length in my .40 (using 10mm mags), but I think the headspace would be way too long if you were shooting .40 cases in a 10mm barrel. You'd have to rely on the extractor to hold the cartridge in place or load the cartridge so long that the bullet is jammed into the rifling (which would limit you to minor power factor type loads- because the pressures would jump significantly). Just my two cents, YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dog Howie Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 (edited) Mine did the same thing but when you dry fire with a snap cap it won't bounce and in live fire it ran perfect I also have hennings trigger we did a little relief cut but still bounced with out a snap cap Edited June 29, 2014 by Big Dog Howie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

george76904 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) I think that there are a few out in the shop that im not using. But I'm not at the house tonight, I will check tomorrow. Edit: I am curious though how did you destroy one? Edited July 1, 2014 by george76904 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savageman25 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Oh, it still functions. Its just all chopped and filed to try to get it in my limited. An experiment that pretty much destroyed it. Its pretty unsightly at the least. Sent from my stupid phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Probably, I pretty much take the stock spring, followers, and basepads off and toss them in a box. All I use is the tube. If you need a couple, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
