A buddy just acquired an absolutely mint SP-1 at a local show; it looks virtually unfired.
The bolt carrier is unshrouded around the firing pin, and it has a notched hammer.
If you dry fire the piece and hold the trigger back, the hammer fouls the bolt carrier if you attempt to cycle the action. If you dry snap and release the trigger, the action cycles normally....
...except occasionally the hammer wants to follow the BCG home.
I've replacement, standard, FCG parts in my stash, and in the short term I told him we'd replace the OEM stuff and see if it solves the problem. My hammer is notchless, tho' I think there is a notched one in there as well.
What do you think? Out of spec disconnector? Other ideas?
Thanks,
Moon
