Bloody Misfires


Recommended Posts

Hi all I have a old brno mod 2 and have been out tonight and had approx 15 misfires re engaged the bolt and fired without fail the second time.

 

Also had some cases stuck in the breach failed to extract.

 

Do you guys think it sounds like I need a new firing pin spring and extractor claws?

Just priced them both up at less than £20 for both from chambers

Cheers chaps. Should have mentioned I stripped and cleaned the bolt last week and greased the spring etc and today is the first time using since the strip down.

And I'm using Winchester subs.

 

Also the rounds I used are from a slab of 500 and have used 300 without any problems

Sounds like it could be gunked up. I'd take the bolt apart and clean off the grease. You can give it a very light coat of oil if you like. And I'd give the chamber a bit of a clean too.

 

Bit too coincidental to get light strikes and extractor problems at the same time IMO. :thumbs:

If i clean mine i just take a old tooth brush and give the bolt a good scrub and the claws get a really good going over when it wouldnt extract spent cases , never stripped it down and greased it in all the years ive had it

Broken firing pin maybe?

How can the firing pin break buddy?

I'll strip it again today re clean it all and try. Would that still cause the extractors to fail?

 

 

Stress fracture?

 

Google broken firing pin and you'll find plenty of examples. Whether that's the cause here, I wouldn't know. But it's not unheard of.
