Trigger not working

Ok, I know I read this somewhere...

I let a friend of mine dryfire my rifle, while supporting the hammer from snapping down. I forgot to mention to him not to pull it back.

Double set Trigger went click hammer didn't move and now will not fall, and trigger will not drop hammer.

Haven't touched anything since. I know I read somewhere what you have to do in this event, but can't find it through search.

Ok now what???

lacking, I think your best bet wouldbe to call Kirk at Shiloh and get advice direct from the horses mouth so to speak. You might try first to pull the hammer all the way back and while holding it back gently squeeze the front or set trigger, while it is depressed see if you can ease the hammer forward. That is the only thought I had on this problem. Best to call Kirk though

I found the answer. It was on another forum that I tend to read.
First you squeeze the back trigger which resets the front trigger. Then let the hammer down with a squeeze on the front (set) trigger.

Thanks for the replys
