I just installed a new cylinder lock spring in a Freedom Arms 83 after its original gave out after many, many cockings. Installation seemed fairly easy, but now the gun will only enter half cock when aimed downward. The trigger return spring acts on the trigger before and after cocking, but in between the trigger goes completely limp. It ignores the half cock notch completely unless gravity assists. Problem is not a worn hammer notch and seems to be entirely in the forces which compel the trigger forward not acting at the right time.
Is this an easily identifiable problem? Did I just install the spring in wrong, or did I mess something else up in the process?
