Have you looked at the fireing pin closely for wear? Do you have light and heavy strikes? What make of ammo? Do you have a way to measure the cases just to see if they are correct? GK

I bought a couple of spares a few years ago and one was eroded and worn beyond belief. You had to look at it under a strong glass to see it. The FP was one of the problem parts with carbines due mostly to poor heat treatment.

Headspace gauges are available from Midway for about $30-35 each. You need a go and field. They do not require a bolt disassembly to work. The most important and dangerous condition is not a carbine with excessive headspace, it is a gun with too little headspace. Remember to use only light hand pressure to measure. Do not let the bolt slam onto the gauge.
