I am working on an original Winchester 1885 hiwall. It has the coil mainspring and a factory single set trigger. With the trigger assembly out of the reciever the hammer will cock. The set trigger will also cock out of the reciever. When they are assembled, the operation of the lever does not cock the set trigger and thusly will not let the hammer cock.

Does anyone know what cocks the set trigger or if there is any parts missing??
