1938 S/42 Problem at the Range Today

Mike,

Does it click when you squeeze the trigger? Have you field stripped it yet? If not then be careful removing the side plate. If the trigger lever drops out you may need a new trigger lever pin to hold it reliably in place. This same kind of thing happened to me with my Arty when I first git it. Also remove the firing pin to clean out any solidified oil and dirt that may be fouling it.

Beyond this I leave it to the experts on the Forum to determine if there is a cocking problem caused by too stiff of a main spring or worn parts.

I've been here only two months myself.

Best of luck,

Russell
