problem with T/C Triumph won't stay locked

[brian1]

I have a T/C Triumph that the locking mechanism won't stay locked. It flops open easily. This is where the trigger guard pulls down to open the action and it pulls up and is supposed to go over center and lock closed to lock the action. I found an old thread on another forum about it and they had a fix with pics, but all the pics had gone stale. That site also had a link to a thread here about it, but that link has gone stale, too.
Does anyone here have information about how to fix this?

This is the link from the other site. According to the poster over there, he copied his info there from this site and this link:

Anyone know how to find that thread here?

Is your breech plug fully seated ?

 

[brian1]

yes, it's just that the locking is very soft. I can barely feel it going over center. I understand this is some sort of internal adjustment

Maybe the internals just need a good cleaning?

I finally found the thread I was seeking. Of course all the pictures are gone. I wonder if the users mentioned in it as the source are still here.

You said you had a triumph.

 

[brian1]

I do. THe Omega thread is the only thing I could find mentioning the problem, so I'm hoping they are enough alike that it's a similar fix. That's why I was trying to find the pictures.

they are not similar. one is a break barrel, the other drops the breech area

I had a similar issue, is the stock really loose?

I took out the stock through bolt and had to take the small pin out of the locking mechanism to get the barrel off. There is a block that is keyed to the bottom of a barrel that the screws came loose on. I locktited them and put it back together and it’s all better.
