[QUOTE="LB, post: 37085, member: 2721"] Yes, possible. It could be excessive headspace, or if it was a cold day, too much lub on the firing pin internals, and a stiff grease can slow down the speed of the travel enough to result in a weak strike. As you mention applying and releasing the safely, it could be that the blocking mechanism is interfering with the fall of the sear? Have it looked at, by a professional. LB edit: just occured to me. The primers can be rendered inactive if the action and ammunition is liberally sprayed with WD40. That's been reported before. [ 11-14-2004: Message edited by: LB ] [/QUOTE]
