All four of my Old Armies have a "ting" to some extent or another during cocking. I am almost positive by now that it has to do with the spring in the grip. I don't know how you would ever git rid of it without going to a much lighter spring and that would have ill effects of its own.
Earlier it was discussed how to take the grip frame off and how you need to hang on to it cause the hammer spring wants to push away. There is a much easier way to do that. Cock the gun with the grip panels off and you will see that the spring bar extends through the block and there will be a hole showing (very bottom almost in the corner of the grip frame). Take a trusty finish nail or strong needle and stick it through, and then let down the hammer. The spring will still be fully tensioned and will lift the block free of the grip frame. The spring and plunger should slip right out now for dissasembly. This makes it much easier on the screws, not to mention your hands when doing full dissembly.
