Wow, how'd you find that thread? Does the waybackmachine have a search option, or did you just memorize thread id 911? =P

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately it doesn't help too much, as I've managed to do the whole disassembly bit on my own.

I looked up a diagram to make sure I wasn't missing a spring, and I'm pretty sure I've got all the pieces:

Going by the part numbers (all located in the bottom left corner of the diagram), part 38 is the hammer, and part 40 is the spring that moves part 38 back and forth with the external hammer. I have part 41 and spring 48 installed correctly as well, to the best of my knowledge, but I'm wondering if I somehow screwed it up. The mechanism looks like part 41 is supposed to move downwards as the external hammer is pulled back, allowing the gas hammer to move backwards as well.

Maybe there's a position that piece 41 is supposed to be in, that puts pressure on part 38 to keep it angled down? I've already got the notch in the top left side of part 41 as intermeshed as possible into the notch on the internal hammer.
