aandabooks Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I've been getting periodic light strikes on my Tac Sport open gun with Fed primers. Figured it was time for a new hammer spring so I installed one last week and went to an indoor match. Ran perfect for one run and on the second run had 3 light strikes in 28 rounds. Tonight I figured it was time for a new 9lb recoil spring and while I was at it I would change the firing pin spring. Took everything apart and inspected the firing pin. Good so far. Getting ready to put the gun back together I picked up the roll pin and it didn't feel right. Here is what I found: There is a chunk missing out of the roll pin. Didn't find the piece of metal. Not sure where it went to. It might have fallen out when I was disassembling and I didn't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siemens2 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Had the same issue last match, except that missing chunk from the roll pin locked the firing pin in the channel. Justified my purchase of a backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
