The only fix for the 1892’s is to either weld and build up the top of the hammer where its worn or replace the hammer. On 1892’s the hammer falling on the cycling is a lot more common and just a tad but concerning. Id still check the new firing pin to make sure its the right length. But would likely start looking for a hammer replacement. If you have the hammer from another 1894 I would try it to see if that makes a difference. As in 1892’s, the half cock sear offers no protection when the hammer falls following the bolt. Definitely check the hammer sears to see if they may be tinkered with or broken. This happens also sometimes because the rails for the bolt sides or where they engage in the receiver can also get sloppy, but that is on rare occasion, causing the bolt to rise higher and keeping it from pushing the hammer all the way and straight back. Watch it when you cycle the gun to see how the bottom side of the bolt pushes back and rides over the top of the hammer. The hammer is not being pushed back far enough to engage the trigger sear of the hammer. You dont see it as much with 1894 hammers as you do with 1892’s, but it is likely the top of the hammer is worn too much where the hammer engages the bolt when the bolt comes back to cock the hammer, that is why when you close the bolt the hammer falls with it striking the firing pin.
