History-My XCR won't cycle properly. Shoots and ejects just fine, chambers the next round, but followup shots won't go bang. We thought it might be a bolt or gas problem. Terra blessed the bolt and proclaimed the upper ready to go. Still no joy.
Today on the Range-Same problem. Ho hum. But wait! After the first shot if I pulled the assist handle back an inch, then forward, it would go bang again! Every time!
Back Home-Started playing with the lower. Lo(wer) and behold! The hammer and trigger are having a disagreement! With my finger off the trigger, if I cock the hammer everything functions fine. With my finger on the trigger, the hammer jams under the hook at the top of the trigger mechanism, and won't drop until I push down on the hammer, or pull the trigger forward. It's like the trigger return spring is too weak, or the hammer's angle is wrong.
This is what's been happening the whole time! As my finger is always on the trigger when the bolt comes back in recoil, the hammer gets jammed under that hook. No followup shot until the hammer is freed.
What do I need? A spring? A file? Faster horses, younger women, more money? Help!
