I just discovered a problem with an old Canadian Inglis Hi Power that I'd like to ask for your help in diagnosing.
1. Gun is cocked and I engage the safety.
2. Pull the trigger - hammer does not drop but a tiny click is heard.
3. Trigger is released.
4. Safety lever is stuck in the safe position and I can not disengage it.
The only way to release the safety lever now is to pull the hammer back a little more and then the safety is easily disengaged while the hammer is held back past fully cocked.
Gun is otherwise functioning normally.
What do you think the problem is?
