Re: Bump on bolt
The transfer bar rises as the trigger is pulled. I suspect that hammer is pushed back that far to ensure that it is fully cocked. By it retracting some, one can see that the hammer moves freely and is set, and ready to be released.JimCunn wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 11:17 amThat wasn't what I meant.
It releases it back to the position it was in immediately before the bump contacted it.
I agree about assuring the sear engages - I am curious about whether it also involves the transfer bar, but have not examined it to determine if that might be the case.

Re: Bump on bolt
Waiting on my new Arkansas stone to arrive.
I'll have to cold blue the top of the hammer after.

Re: Bump on bolt
I believe that it is there for the positive sear engagement. You have to pull the hammer a little past the sear engagement. When you pull the trigger you will also see that the hammer moves back just a little before release.
