It’s a POS.
Traditions took two swings and misses at making mine right.
Bad barrel out of the box. Mount holes weren’t drilled parallel to the bore and there was a burr in the rifling about an inch from the crown.
Back and forth twice, wouldn’t replace the gun or barrel.
“Found nothing wrong” but remounted and “boresighted” the scope. Still 18” right at 100 yards with maxed out windage.
Tried adjustable rings. Could get it somewhat centered, but wouldn’t group worth a damn due to the burr. After a lot of wasted time and money trying to find a load that would group, I sold for $50 to a buddy who said it would work well enough for the 30-50 yard shots he takes.
Grabbed an Optima V2 and couldn’t be happier.
It’s a hell of a lot more gun for the same price point as Traditions.
Better barrel, vastly better trigger, better overall design.
ETA- to your original question, a soak of CLP should free up that firing pin.
