Hey All - I have a small problem.
While detail cleaning my new Ruger GP100, I may have inadvertantly di**ed it up. I took the trigger group and hammer out to inspect and clean & after putting it back together, the hammer won't cock in the back position. I can pull the trigger to the rear & the cylinder will rotate and the hammer follows the motions but the trigger never 'breaks'. I took it apart probably a dozen times to see if I would eventually get lucky but nada! Also, the trigger pull 'seems' to get progressively heaiver after 4 or 5 pulls - could just be my fingers getting tired (don't know how many more nites I can stay up till 12:00 trying to fix this). Any pointers? Did I somehow trip the trigger? The manuals' reassembly instructions have not helped me.
BTW - the transfer bar and pawl seem to be in the right positions.
Any ideas would be great. I REALLY hate not having a working firearm in the house. Weird feeling.
