PO8 Problems???

[Roadkill]

I tend to think its a mainspring problem. Next time out manually load and fire one round without magazine. Then push the toggle down and pay close attention, more feel than see, if the bolt moves forward. If it does then its not cocking for the next round. Since it ejects its more likely a weak mainspring than one that is too strong, but one that is too strong will do that also, but they usually cause a failure to eject and won't chamber and reload. The bolt is at the end of its forward momentum when it picks up the round from the magazine and chambers it, when at its weakest point the spring has the most resistance to overcome. I trimmed too many loops off one and had the same problem. Hugh sent me some replacement springs and I fixed it right up. (He was trying to make up for taking advantage of a new guy - me - on a magazine trade, but that was over a year ago and I've almost forgotten all about it) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> And welcome to the forum.
