belt it with a slege hammer to see if that will loosen it up failing that it needs to be heated with a torch, to burn the rust then hit with a hammer to loosen
Single action (SA) A single-action trigger, sometimes single-action only, performs the single action of releasing the hammer or striker to discharge the firearm each time the trigger is pulled. Almost all rifles and shotguns use this type of trigger. Single-action semi-automatic pistols require that the hammer be cocked before the first round is fired. Once the first round is fired the automatic movement of the slide cocks the hammer for each subsequent shot. The pistol, once cocked, can be fired by pulling the trigger once for each shot until the magazine is empty. The M1911 is a single-action pistol that functions in this manner. Double action (DA) Invented by Robert Adams, a double-action trigger performs two functions when pulling the trigger, first cocking the hammer then releasing it to discharge the firearm. When this term is applied to revolvers, the trigger also rotates the cylinder. Though this is technically a third action, it is correct to refer to the mechanism as double-action. Most pistols and revolvers with a double-action trigger mechanism retain the single action functionality: See the Double action/Single action (DA/SA) description below.
Single action The action mechanism would be the hammer with flint.
Early revolvers were single action- you had to cock the hammer manually, then pull the trigger. An example would be the Colt Peacemaker. A double action revolver (such as a S&W 357 magnum- Mdl 66) can be fired by pulling the trigger. Trigger pull, by itself, will cause the hammer to rise and fall. OR- the hammer may be cocked, and then the trigger pulled. A "DAO" or double action only, the hammer cannot be cocked, and the gun must be fired by pulling the trigger.

The single-action trigger performs only the one action of releasing the hammer to fire the bullet. The hammer must be cocked for this to occurr.
One shot for each pull of the trigger. The trigger does not cock the hammer.
If you are asking about the Crosman 3756. Single action is, you pull the trigger and Hammer pulls back and fires. All in one action. OR in double action you pull the hammer back and then pull the trigger to fire the gun. The gun can be fired either way single or double. Target shooters like to use the gun in double action, this removes some of the pressure on the trigger by pulling the hammer back manually, its easier to release the hammer with the trigger already cocked. You can get a better aim in this way. Pulling the trigger in single action causes you pull down with the gun and off your target..
DAO = Double Action Only. Pulling the trigger cocks the hammer (striker) until the trigger breaks and the hammer (or striker) hits the firing pin. A striker is like an internal hammer.
its usually a hammer action Actually, it means a couple of different things. The term action can refer to the internal parts that make the gun cycle, feed, and fire, or it can refer to how the handgun works. A double action gun is a gun that has two trigger modes. The trigger is long and heavy, then the gun stays cocked and the subsequent trigger pulls are short and light. A double action only gun is a gun that has a long heavy trigger every time. A single action gun is a gun that must be hammer cocked before it can fire. Whether it has a hammer or not is not directly related to what type of action it has.
Both! You can cock the hammer and pull trigger for single action. Or, for double action just pull the trigger straight through.
For the first shot, a single action auto, like the 1911A1 .45 auto, must have the hammer cocked manually. A double action auto, like the P38 can be fired by pulling the trigger without cocking the hammer. Trigger pull alone causes hammer to rise and fall.
Single action means the trigger only performs a single action; it drops the hammer to fire the gun. The hammer on a single action gun must be cocked before the gun can be fired.
