I didn't notice if anyone suggested repinning the repetition lever
tighter. This symptom in a Baldwin action can be caused by
excessively low friction. When the hammer center, knuckle friction,
and rep lever friction are all low, they will do this. The best
place to add the friction back in is at the repetition lever center
pin.<br>
<br>
You should measure about 4 grams of friction at the rep lever skin (at
the drop screw) with the spring disengaged, wippen held sideways.
If the friction is very low here, the rep spring regulation will be
problematic like you have described.<br>
<br>
As Del said, the action will still work, but if you get it to stop it
should work better. Set the backcheck regulation as high as you can
without grabbing on hard blows, too.<br>
