When I Pull the hammer back to calk it, it wont stay back?? ANy body know what broke?? Im leaving for my elk hunt in 8 days! :bash:
I would bet Marty is correct - take the action out of the stock - remove the allen screw that holds the trigger in place. Flush the trigger with a good strong cleaner - then re-lube it and put it back in the rifle. Should be good to go...

Had the same thing happen to my Knight. Clean it and it will be fine.

A friend of mine attending a gun show just called and asked if I wanted another MK-85 - I reluctantly said - no - really do not need another one and I did not want to spend the money. Then he says it has a problem when you pull the hammer back it will not stay back so the guy offered to sell it for $85. Everything else on the rifle looked perfect including the bore.

For 85 and probably knowing what the problem is - yes I took the deal...

Sabotloader, can you review the process of using brake cleaner to clean a muzzleloader trigger assembly? I could give my version, but it wouldn't do it justice like you could.
