Was at the range the other day........Noticed I was getting light strikes........no ignition.......FM products Colt bolt.........noticed the firing pin was not coming all the way back......and when the hammer fell again it was not enough inertia to fire the next round..........anyone ever experienced something like this..........?

When I got back to the house I removed the firing pin and spring chased the firing pin hole with brake cleaner and break free.........used several pipe cleaners to get the filth out.........assembled everything back and it returns all the way back when I push it forward.

Is the firing pin spring in it and how does it look?

spring is all there and everything looked good.........when it would get stuck I could push on it and free it up.........but after a couple of rounds it would stick again...........
