BF pistol issues….a question….or two.
Posted: Fri Feb 23, 2024 6:14 pm
I loaded up some ammo for a 6.5 US BF pistol. I had 3 of eight rounds with light hammer strikes. Out of all of my BFs this is the first issue of this type. Hammer spring feels the same as the others. Action appears to be opening and closing as normal. Trigger pull feels fine.
Upon inspecting the action, what little you can see, there is a shiny disc that comes up in front of the firing pin. It is a transfer bar safety of some type. When the trigger is clicked twice and sitting back in the fire position this bar will drop a little bit when the trigger is pulled.
I am tempted to take out some Prussian blue to start checking to see what is hitting what when the trigger is pulled. Before doing that I thought I would do to things first:
Double check my ammo for OAL and fitment.
Check here to see if anyone has information on assembly/disassembly of a BF and how that safety is supposed to work.
Minimal info on line. Will be checking with Eben for info also.
