Had a little glitch with the RH. Happened a couple of times. The key-lock screw for the hammer lock moved out by itself through cycling the action. Once to keep action from opening and also once to keep from dropping the hammer. Could be hazardous to one's health at the wrong time. Wound up pulling the pin on it to remove the culprit. Any others out there have a similar issue?

LOL. Wow, I literally just removed my hammer-lock (yesterday) because I was thinking that might happen. The first time I used it I thought "Wow, this thing is loose."
I could almost lock it up with my thumb twisting overtop of the screw. I don't trust it, especially when I plan on running lots of max.loads through it.
I'm getting it parkerized, but here it is in its current state. Rossi peens in the steel around the screw to keep it in place.
