[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2697327, member: 59036"] I would start with ammunition. It should fire if firing pin strike is normal. If reloads, check primers and headspace. Reloading die could be pushing the case shoulder back causing excessive headspace causing grievous “soft” primer strike. If that checks out, then I would take the firing pin out of the bolt give everything a thorough cleaning. Then I would try to fire primed empty cases to see if I could duplicate the problem. If you still have the problem, then I would look at the firing pin and spring. [/QUOTE]
