I had an odd occurrence happen the other day. When I pulled the trigger, I heard the spring go Boing and the rifle didn't fire right away.
I waited for about 3-4 seconds and then the rifle fired. Is this a sticking or broken spring? The striker end looks OK with deep primer strikers.
I only got that condition/sound once that day. I didn't have that before. Strange.
Could be a 'delayed fire' / 'hang fire' of the primer/powder - what ammunition was it ?
Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...
