I have a problem with a Pedersoli 1874 Sharps.
It has double set triggers and has suddenly started to drop onto half-cock when fired.
Had this happen before but guessed the mainspring was worn...changed that and away it went no problems for about 15months before it starts again.
Had it to bits this morning and as I took the mainspring out it snapped so I guess it's just gone weak again....time for a new one.
Am I chasing the wrong thing here? Could it be related to the triggers and the springs in there getting tired? I have ordered a spring kit and wondered if anyone on here has any ideas that may help me.
Many thanks.
