Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Hicapa 5.1 Problem (Hammer won't come forward)

Okay so, just put my brand new hicapa internals all into a new slide and frame. It's a Freedom Art long frame.

I put it all back together in what I believe to be the right way, using a video as a guide, and some help from a friend. However after assembling the frame, the hammer only has 2 positions it will lock in; fully cocked, and half cocked. It won't come to the forward position. When fully cocked, if I pull the trigger, it will release the hammer, but the hammer stops halfway to the fully forward position (half cocked).

I've taken it completely apart and tried again to put it back together, and it gave the same symptoms. Anyone know what could be causing this?

Edit: tried shooting it (with gas in mag), but the valve knocker doesn't do anythin I guess since it doesn't fire.
