[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3044800, member: 5391"] It looks like the problem was a weak firing pin spring. Yesterday, after a whole bunch of 'I can't do this; I'll dick it up' type of dithering, I decided that, at worst, I'd be in the same situation I was in before, so I got a pair of vise-grips and using them to grip the spring retainer, I replaced the spring and re-assembled the bolt. It wouldn't go in the rifle at first and then I remembered to cock the bolt and it went right in. Hoping that the problem was fixed but fearing that it wasn't, I went to the range today, and fired 55 7.62 x 39 rounds with no misfires whatever,. I hope that the problem is solved. And before someone jumps in to tell me, I padded the retainer with a piece of leather to avoid marring it. A few more tests will tell me whether or not I have my beloved Czech rifle back [/QUOTE]
