RTI RTI ARMS Prophet 2 unable to cock.

Hi guys .

Thanks so much for the valuable input.

I'd loosened the sear by unwinding the grub screws until the are really loose.

The hammer had been back off to the point that it's really light.

Still I failed to cock the gun.

Any other ideas?

What is exactly the problem? Can you move the handle and tension the spring? Or the hammer doesn't lock in position?
If first remove the left side on the cocking mechanism and examine the point of failure.
Second remove the richt side cover and check if the trigger mechanism is holding the hammer. If not adjust the trigger screw on the most backside.

Yes, I can move the cocking handle and feel the tension of the spring but it doesn't latch on the mechanism that locks it in place.

The trigger mechanism is moving when I pull the trigger. It doesn't seem to have any problem. But I did try to play with the tension of the two small screws that controls the trigger by tightening and loosening them with no effect.

I also tried to adjust the spring preload tension, again, it doesn't make a difference.

It would be great if you could help with this issue.

I tries everything I could think of.

Thanks.

Next, remove the butt plate. Point the gun down and try to cock it. Does the hammer latch in place? If not then your cocking rod may have turned enough to not give you enough throw. The only other thing is something is binding the spring up and not letting the hammer come all of the way back.

Thanks for the further guidance. I'll try it out next week and will keep you posted.

Hi Rich,

I removed the butt plate and cock it. The hammer moves backward. But it doesn't latch to anything.

I uploaded the vids to illustrate it better. Please review and inform me if you see any problem.


Thanks.

Thanks so much for taking the time to review the videos and for the advice. Are you referring to the 2 screws that adjust the trigger pull and stiffness?

Rich_B said:

Yep, the sear engagement screw need to be backed out and the spring pressure screw needs to be tightened. Do that and see what happens.

Hi @Rich_B..

I adjusted both scews as instructed. The gun still wouldn't cock.

I took apart the sear, hopefully you would kindly check if there is a damage.


Thanks.
