RTI RTI ARMS Prophet 2 unable to cock.

I hammer looks good, maybe the screwed in the trigger adjusting screw is to tight. Try to adjust it. I’d back out the sear engagement screw and the second screw for adjusting spring tension adjust it from flush 3 turns in (clockwise).

Hi Mont,

I adjusted the screws according to your advice and also a lot of adjustments too. It's a no go...

Please don't give up on me.

When the trigger assembly is all put back together, look down the hole where the hammer goes and see if anything is protruding out or not. If not, it’s a trigger mechanism issue. If it is, there’s something haywire on the other side of the gun where the cocking mechanism is. Something bent or missing or just out of adjustment too far.

The trigger bar has a wide adjustment range. There is a set screw holding the trigger to the cross pin it rides on and you can move where the trigger starts and stops by loosening that screw and resetting the trigger to a different angle.

Thank you for the advice. I'm out of town. I'll work on it once I get back home.

Again, thanks so much for taking the time to work on this issue.

Happy days ahead, guys. It cocks and shoots.

Thank you everyone for sticking by me, especially @Rich_B who were patiently giving his time to analyze every bit of information and came up with solutions.

After going through the troubleshooting advice, my friend and I found out that the small spring that the sear was riding on was broken. It was replaced, and it cocks!

Good deal. Glad to hear you’re back to shooting again.
