[QUOTE="Catt57, post: 3911390, member: 34578"] Had a chance to mess with this some more. I figured out a little more of what is happening. Basically, If the trigger is pressed, and the receiver cap is allowed to move back that extra millimeter, the firing pin does not get "captured" to cock the action. If either the trigger is not pressed, OR the receiver cap is pressed forward, than it catches and works correctly. So it's the combination of trigger pressed and receiver cap movement that causes it to fail. I am also able to replicate this behavior with the action in and out of the stock. (When out of the stock, just pressing the sear release by hand.) [/QUOTE]
