Looking for confirmation or correction here.
One of my Vaqs, which I recently fitted with a new SBH hammer, is slightly out of time on one cylinder. Instead of going to full cock then having the cylinder latch engage, it is slightly in reverse - latch pops up then full cock. Oddly, it does not do this with the original Vaq hammer.
Since it is only one cylinder, I took the cylinder out for inspection and, yes, there is a small but visible burr on the related ratchet tooth. (There must be some very minor dimension difference between the original Vaq hammer and the replacement SBH hammer.)
I believe that the solution is to get out my finest stone and extremely carefully remove the elevated portion of the burr without altering the dimensions of the tooth.
Yes/no/other?
