Hi,

I took my new to me Ross to the range for the first time last week, but after firing the first 3 rounds fine it then failed to strike the primer. I had a couple more attempts but then gave up.

The cocking piece was moving forward ok, but the firing pin was not contacting the cartridge primer at all...

I disassembled the bolt when I got home, but found it relatively clean inside and no obvious damage to the mainspring or firing pin.

Any ideas? I was using factory ammo and had no difficulty in closing or opening the bolt.

If the spring is weak and needs replacement, do you know any sources for a mainspring?

Thanks for reading 😊
