My Hämmerli 100 FP needs to be repaired as several springs have been worn out, the set trigger is no longer working consistently.
Larry's waiting time right now is close to three months. I wonder if anyone knows of another gunsmith who knows how to work on my Hämmerli without having a two plus months waiting list?

I have just sent an email to him, thank you. If it does not reach him I'll give him a call.
This is frustrating since unlike the later 101-107 series, I cannot find any manual or schematics for the MP33/100, and nobody seems to have them. The difference between the MP33/100 to the other 10x pistols is the trigger design, especially the trigger weight adjustment mechanism. Even if there is a master gunsmith who is willing to give it a shot, it will not be easy for the gunsmith since there is no schematics for my pistol.
This is my practice pistol with which I do most of my dry fire. I practice around two dozen dry fires a day so that means I have to set trigger two dozen times a day. Hence I actually need the pistol to be functional, and functioning well, as opposed to be just a collectors item.

Hi Vince,
You can see schematics in Die Scheibenpistole by Otto Halfmann and Bruno Brukner.
Usually, from your description, it just needs a thorough cleaning of the set trigger mechanism and fresh lubrication. Do you know how to remove the trigger mechanism? If so, you can soak it in mineral spirits. It's likely just got some gunk in it, such as built up solvent and/or powder residue. Even one that is unfired can act up, since the original lubricating oil can get sticky over time, making the action sluggish and unreliable.
Don't disassemble the mechanism, though! It can be difficult to get the leaf springs (5 of them!) back in position, and the pins that hold the multiple sears in place are tapered and fitted to each specific hole.
