I have a .54 hawkens style muzzleloader. I purchased it through Cabelas about 20 years ago and it's made by Investarms (Italy). I use it mostly for hunting. It has worked flawlessly over the years and I have taken great care of it.
The other day I took it out to shoot and it would not ignite the cap. It has double trigger set. So, I pull the set trigger and then the hair trigger. It has always fired, but now it will not ignite the cap. If I pull the hair trigger directly (without the set trigger first) it will ignite the cap. I took the lock and trigger mechanism apart and thoroughly cleaned and lubricated everything. It is still not firing the cap.
Does anyone know what the cause might be? It seems like the hammer must be coming down harder when pulling the hair trigger directly? Is there an adjustment I can make, or do you think parts may need to be replaced?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
