I inherited my father’s Winchester 1906 pump 22 (model 62 I believe). Anyway, it had a broken hammer spring so I bought one online. I installed it without issue, but when I cock the hammer, it will not remain cocked. Has anyone had this problem or know what is likely worn or broken?
Any help would be appreciated.

One of two problems may exist. The sear engagement area’s of the hammer or trigger may be packed with crud, gunk etc. The second cause may be damage or wear to the sear areas of the same two components. One other possibility may exist, a broken trigger spring. If that spring is broken the trigger will not return to the forward position to engage the hammer. If you need any of the parts, hammer, trigger, trigger spring. PM me I have them all.
Best,

Another thought, If some one disassembled the rifle and ended up losing the hammer bushing, that would allow the hammer to sit to far forward to engage the trigger. With the hammer in the fired position, use your thumb and try pushing straight up and down on the hammer spur. If the bushing is in there no vertical movement will be noticed. If it’s not you will see about 1/16 of an inch of movement one way or the other.
Thanks Erin,
I guess the only way to know is to remove them and look? I will do so and let you know what I find.
Thanks much,

Followup on my hammer cocking issue.
Last night after I had posted my original question, I figured either the trigger or hammer had to be worn. I went on ebay and bought one each. This morning I got a reply from Erin.
You were correct Erin. My problem was simply due to wear. After removing and examining the hammer and trigger I discovered a “notch” on the trigger mechanism was badly worn and therefore didn’t catch or hold the hammer. The hammer appeared to be somewhat worn as well.
I didn’t know what the trigger looked like, so I hope the (used) one I bought doesn’t already have the same wear problem. If is does, I’ll give you a shout Erin.
Thanks,
Robb
