Failure to go into battery every time

DonVoigt · 10-25-2020, 08:47 PM

Could be, singly or in combination:
-Dirty or damaged chamber, or something stuck in there
-striker spring too strong
-since it is not matching, headspace may be tight
-bent rails or other friction slowing down return to battery- you should not have any problem
hand cycling, but take out the striker. If the problem goes away- you know what it was/is.
If not it is much safer!
-bent or too strong ejector
-too strong or long extractor spring, or stuck extractor

Need any more ideas?

Welcome to the board.
