I WILL CHECK THIS OUT AND GIVE REPLY. THANKS

HAMMER IS LIKE NEW WHERE SLIDE CONTACTS HAMMER. SLIDE IS NOT WORN. WHEN HAMMER IS IN FULL COCKED POSITION AND SLIDE IS BACK THERE IS 1/16" GAP BETWEEN HAMMER AND SLIDE. HAVE NOT TAKEN TO A GUNSMITH AS YET. LOOKING FOR A SIMPLE SOLUTION. THANKS FOR ALL RESPONCES THAT I HAVE RECEIVED SO FAR.

I HAVE A 1873 PROBLEM THAT WHEN YOU CYCLE LEVER ON RIFLE IT WILL NOT COCK HAMMER. CARRIAGE GOES BACK BUT WILL NOT PUSH HAMMER INTO COCK POSITION. HAMMER CAN BE COCKED BY HAND. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT PROBLEM COULD BE. THANKS
