Sounds like your trigger is not resetting. Try this:
MAKE SURE YOUR GUN IS NOT LOADED!!!!
With your finger off the trigger, pull the bolt handle all the way back and release it. Pull the trigger. The hammer should release.
Work the bolt again while holding the trigger back. Release the trigger and then pull it. If the hammer does not release this time then it is probably not resetting. Try pushing forward on the trigger, You probably now will hear a "click" and then when you pull the trigger the hammer will release. If you don't hear the click then it just means the problem is a little more severe.
To solve this problem, you may have to refit the J-B Weld. Be sure all the rough places in the trigger mechanism have been smoothed and you may need to lengthen the trigger return spring.
Maybe someone else can give other suggestions for solving this problem. I have been working on this on my gun with only partial success. Seems like if I get the nice, light, crisp trigger pull then I have resetting problems.
Good luck!
