Tiger,
In this test, NEVER touch the trigger.
1) remove the barrel, and leave it off. If you have a manual safety (you do) engage it--set your lever in the center position.
2) attempt to cock your hammer, It should cock, assuming you never pulled or even touched the trigger when you opened your action to remove the barrel.
3. even IF the hammer cocked, pull back and up the trigger guard spur, don't be a wuss when pulling it back and up. The hammer (if cocked) should DROP.
4. attempt to cock the hammer, it should cock.
5. Repeat 3 and 4. Do it 10 times and count how many times the hammer cocked. Also each time keep track of how many of those times the safety lever extension DIDN'T hit the frame's breech face when the hammer dropped. There *should be* a space between them. Report back your results. Leave the barrel OFF if the hammer doesn't "cock".
Jim
