Perhaps the Hammerli/Walther website lists factory-authorized contacts? Oops, should have RTFM, the manual for the 208 clearly stated that sear. In either event, my first suggestion is to get another hammer and sear for the gun. You can even mention my name and he shouldn't charge you too much. Firearms International Corp. And is available from F.! L ing-In Guide and Manual (value $1.00). Marshal, whose name is given to these interarmy matches. Action of a Walther pistol loaded, locked. 208 page Catalog-Reference.
Is there anyway to increase the sear enagement on a early model Hammerli 208 ( S/no 206** )? From the 10P Files, it seem like the only adjustment available is the trigger weight. I would like to increase the sear enagement because the pistol have a tendancy to go 'full auto' when the slide is release to chamber the 1st round. I have checked for a stuck firing pin, and also check that firing pin spring is holding the firing pin in the rear position. The sear also appears to be catching when the hammer is cocked manually.
Any idea or suggestion will be welcome. I recommend this is the kind of thing that should be addressed by factory certified, licensed gunsmith? Larry Carter (Larry's Guns) in Portland, Maine if you are in the U.S.
If you are not in the U.S. Then I don't know who would be best to fix this for you. Perhaps the Hammerli/Walther website lists factory-authorized contacts?
This may not be as simple as 'sear engagement.' For your own safety and protection and the safety of other shooters, I humbly suggest this be addressed before shooting the pistol again. Steve Swartz.
Oops, should have RTFM, the manual for the 208 clearly stated that sear enagement is NOT user adjustable! Anyway, a little background info, I realized of course that such a weapon should be sent to a gunsmith. However, due to local reg and other issues beyond my control, that is not going to happen. If the gun cannot be made to function safely, it will most likely be return to the police for destruction. Which is a waste because as far as I can tell, the barrel is in good condition, and while the finishing is worn, there is a minimum of rust or corrosion.
Also, fund is NOT available for a replacement so one less weapon means one less shoorter in the club can take up the sport. Thank for taking time to reply.

Wai, I'm not sure if the law in Singapore permits you to ship the gun out of the country BUT before you even consider putting that beautiful piece of Swiss engineering in the police trash can, you should consider selling it. Obviously, you would have to disclose the problems it is having, but I'll bet there would be no shortage of people who would want to give it a good home. While you will probably have to discount it because it doesnt function properly, you should at least be able to get something back for your investment.
Even if you have to strip it down and sell it part by part on ebay, it would be better than just giving it to the local authorities for destruction. There is a huge market out there for spare 208 parts. But before you give up on it: You probably already know, the older Hammerli's like yours were built to last several life times.
