Is hammer locktited?

[Crusher95348]

I have a stock 2001 'Cocker, and I was wondering if the hammer is supposed to be locktited to the sear. I would assume so so that the sear wouldn't fall outta place but i'm not quite sure. Before I take it to an airsmith I'd like to see if anyone will answer this question.

ok..well ...the "hammer" is not connected to the sear at all.....


the Sear catches a lug on the hammer....the cocking rod is screwed into the back of the hammer.....with a spring behind the hammer.......the hammer has a lug that hangs down through a milled slot no the underside of the bottom tube that the sear catches...when you pull the trigger the sear drops and releases the hammer lug and the hammer moves foward to hit the valve pin....
as the back block moves back again the sear catches the lug again and holds it there until you pull the trigger.,...again....

I'm sorry I meant the sear lug or hammer lug whichever u want to call it. But you never answered my question. I was wondering if the sear or hammer lug is supposed to be loctited (sorry don't know how to spell that word either) to the hammer. I tried to lift the sear lug out from it's original position and it wouldn't budge. Can you tell me if it's supposed to be loctited?

I think it is loc-tited....someone else asked this same question.....once I got the allen key in I had to use pliers to get it to turn....it should be pretty stiff.....on some aftermarket hammers there is a nylon set screw so that it is stiff to move the lug but can still be adjusted.....this is so that the lug doesnt move after it is adjusted.....

hope that answered your question

well they are not all loc tited. All of the autocockers i have worked on, have not had a sear lug that was difficult to turn. The hardest part was just getting to it. but from what i hear some are/some aren't.
