Hi Folks,

I took out this past weekend an Israeli .22 K98icon with a Remington barrel that I purchased about two years ago. I took it out once before and had several misfires for one or two ignitions probably due to excessive dry firing in the past. This time I brought along several types of ammo and was unable to fire any of them.

A friend who was with me suggested that I get a reputable gunsmith in our area to remake a longer version of the rimfire firing pin so as to achieve a sure ignition. Otherwise he suggested that we'd have to cut the barrel, rechamber and rebarrel it........ an unpleasant option that would cost the greater part of what I paid for it in the first place.

Does anyone here know of any other options that I have to play with? Could the issue be with a weak firing spring instead, or some other common problem? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Frank
