NEED HELP WITH LOCK

[VEARL]

PUT A NEW MAIN SPRING A SEAR SPRING IN MY TRADITIONS 32 CAL RIFLE.
THE LOCK WILL FUNCTION OK OUT OF THE STOCK. I COCKED IT TO FULL COCK OUT OF THE RIFLE AND PLACED IT BACK INTO THE STOCK. SET THE DOUBLE TRIGGERS AND FIRE IT. EVERYTHING WORKS GOOD BUT TO RE-COCK IT NOTHING CATCHES. NOT HALF COCK OR FULL COCK. SO ANY IDEA WHAT MY PROBLEM IS ?

Sounds like a little to much wood in the lock mortise. Try backing lock screws off a little and see what happens. That will tell you if the springs are binding against wood

Set the trigger first, then pull the hammer back. If it works, The sear is pushed up against the trigger bar.

Mark the sear and tumbler with some ink. Put it back in place and work the lock. Take the lock back out and there will be ink marks on the wood where the working parts came into contact with the wood. Remove the wood with the ink marks. Problem solved

You got you some good information here. It's more than enough to figure it out. Till then, back off ob the screws, one at a time and see which area the probleem is in.
