Loosen the mainspring screw a little.

Does this problem exist both in and out of the gun?

How did you fix it, we would all like to know for future questions?

  I baked off the mainspring screw a little turn to the left, it worked for me.

A double set trigger with a too strong rear spring can possibly break a half cock position
off the tumbler if the trigger is set off with the lock at half cock

Also, for an easier set, the rear trigger should be pinned higher than the front.  Design is everything.
