Check the action spread.
SD 10 & SF 12           4 31/64"        113.9mm
L,R,M,B & Chick. 410, 507       4 27/64"        112.3mm
MP                              4 7/16"         112.7mm

I think I retrieved these numbers from Baldwin and they're written in my 
Action Handbook.

Or an easy way to set it is to have it such that the jack is perpendicular 
to the shank at rest.

The spread may be too great, causing the shank to rebound on the rep. lever 
adj. screw.
Try turning them in the button deeper, as mentioned before.
