I have had problems lately w/ my Norinco leaving a light strike on the primers. I'm using Wolf ammo, never had any issues at all with it. (other than the stench) I just replaced the firing pin & the issue persists. If I try the rounds in my SKS, no problem, fires every time. I think the hammer spring may be weakened, but it shows no sign of this. The issue also seems to be about every other round. The only 2 things I can figure might be a problem are the hammer spring, or the hammer. Hammer is slightly worn, but makes full contact with the firing pin, especially since I replaced it. (the old firing pin was quite a bit shorter and a bit flattened at the tip) Please let me know if you can offer any suggestions. Thanks. |

Pull the firing pin and clean the crap out of the channel. In the cleaning kit is a Small punch, use it to punch the retaining pin out of the middle of the bolt (at the lugs, pin is tapered and will only punch one way). If you don't get the channel/pin clean, then it binds up the distance that the firing pin can protrude forward. Also, If needed, spin the firing pin and polish the taper section on the pin, this will allow the pin to protude slightly deeper due to the tapper limiting the distance that the pin can travel in the bolt. |
