I recently bought a like-new Knight in-line muzzleloader, the model is BK-92. But after taking it apart and reassembling it, following the directions in the manual (of course!), it looks like the exterior of the in-line hammer is getting scuffed and scratched up a bit.
It looks like some of the scratches are happening when I'm reinserting the hammer in the gun, even though I'm holding the trigger back. Other scuffs/scratches appear in the area of the hammer where it's sliding past the trigger sear when the gun is fired.
By "hammer" I mean the cylindrical piece of metal that slides forward to strike and fire the percussion cap.
The scratches don't affect functioning, but I'm curious if this wear is normal?
