This is probably the wrong place to ask but maybe someone can point me to another forum where I may be able to get help. Anyway I have an 1841 Mississippi rifle made by E Whitney in 1850. For the last couple of years it has been hanging on my wall. Because I'm getting rid of my collection I took it down to list on gun broker. To my shock when you pull the trigger when it is half cock the hammer drops. Does anyone know what the cause would be? and if it is an easy fix . and if it is not an easy fix does anyone know of a gun smith that is good with antique arms hopefully in the Nebraska Iowa area thanks
