Might try this procedure - It really sounds like your set-up needs tweeked...

14. How do I adjust and operate my double-set trigger?
Answer: To adjust the triggers, first remove the trigger group from the stock. Loosen both the front and rear adjusting screws until they no longer contact the triggers. Tighten both screws until they just touch the triggers. Install the trigger assembly in the stock. Operate the triggers to get a feel for their sensitivity. Cock the hammer and release it using only the front trigger. Repeat this procedure, setting the rear trigger before pulling the front. If further adjustment is necessary, adjust both screws the same amount. In other words, if the rear screw is tightened one turn, the front screw should also be tightened one turn. Continue this procedure until the trigger adjustment is satisfactory.

i wonder if its the fly sticking? He said something about setting the trigger and then pulling the hammer back again and it works? Sounds like the fly is sticking. God i hate trying to figure out problems without being able to touch the item lol.

Have fun @ the Space Needle - way to may people for me to endure... course Seattle period has way to many people... My doaughter on the other hand thinks spending time on I-5 during rush hour is fun - she would like the Space Neede... actually she would like Belvue Squareeven better, but she can not afford it.
