    Hammer block supposed to flop on model 72?


    I just bought a fun little model 72 falling block 22. It seems to shoot and eject just fine. I'm not familiar with them, and not sure how far half cock safety should look. When Iook at the hammer block it looks pretty loose and floppy in there and I'm not sure it is functioning correctly. The place I bought from ( on gunbroker). They are far off but the seller said he will pay the cost yk fix it if a gunsmith determines it has a problem. That's stand up on their part. Anyone here familiar with how half cock should look and if the hammer block looks loose and floppy or not??? Thanks!

    The only thing I could suggest is find another one like it and see if it does the same thing!! Not a very common model, I don't know if I've ever seen one!

    Had my gunsmith look at it and he said it's ok so I'm good to go.
