[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Hammer pin problem

Posted: 5/20/2003 4:06:31 AM EDT

I have an Essential Arms Pre Ban that hase been great for the past 12 years or so....BUT..now I find that the hammer pin seems to be walking out towards the left side of the reciever....and when the hammer gets to a certain angle it creates a 2 shot burst....Is there any type of locking pin??? I really don't want to scare the guys at the range...

You can try anti-walk pins, they should fit the hammer also. [url]http://bushmaster.com/shopping/lowers/we-002.asp[/url]

Check your hammer to see if the J-pin is still in place. It's a small J shaped pin that fits up into hammer to hold it on the pin. If it is in place try a new hammer and pin next. DSA has the best anti-walk pins if you need to go that route.

I agree with ARK15, check the J-Pin. I had one break about 3-4 weeks ago. The pin kept walking out the left side. Took it apart and noticed that I could not see the J-Pin when I looked through the hammer pin hole. Ordered a new hammer and life is fine!

Here's my thread on the troubleshooting board:

Hope this helps
