Will asked: "That one has happened to me too. You are talking about the adjustment screw for the rep lever for the jack height in the window. Cure was to raise the
hammer line slightly higher or the hammer rest rail up a tad."

Will,
Not talking about the repetition lever adjustment screw, (although that, also, could be the source of the sounds.<g>), but the "hook" that some reps. have in that area. The "hook" stops the rep lever end from moving too far, (it will hit on a square of felt). Those are always problematic in actions with poor geometry, IMHO. :-(
