Hello, new member here. My Father gave me an carbine ,Underwood barrel dated 8-43,flaming bomb.type 1 barrel band,flip sight,crossed cannons and the whole nine yards. I found out about these things one this forum. He has owned it for maybe 40 plus years, doesnt quite remember. Any ways I chambered a round and pulled the trigger and the hammer dropped but did not fire. No dent one the primer.
If I hold the barrel down I can see the firing pin, turn the barrel up and it slides back in the bolt. Does this sound right. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,Mark
