The hammer return noise happens when the hammer is raised only 10 to 15 mm above the rest position. It does not touch the rest rail when released from this small distance but it will get the noise. The rail is wood with a mounting screw embeded into the whippen rail at each section near the action brackets. All appears to be solid. Gene
