Got a 10" 30-30 barrel in the Armor Alloy configuration. Nice pistol. When testing trigger pull without pulling the hammer back, the hammer moves forward and touches the firing pin. On all my other contenders, you can test the amount of pre-travel, over-travel, and trigger pull weight without cocking the hammer, and in the uncocked position the hammer doesn't move forward at all when the trigger is pulled. Hope I've explained this adequately, but it's got me puzzled as to what might be going on. On that particular pistol, I have also noticed that unless the barrel is fully opened and then closed, the hammer sometimes will not cock. I think there is a bit of interference with the forend that may be causing this. If you partially open the barrel, load, then close, sometimes the hammer and sear won't engage. Any thoughts on this?
