I'm not so sure. I think the strike is light.

Agree.

I posted Mauser M-12. I think it's a M-18. I had worked with it, adjusted the trigger, ended up impressed with the quality for a lower priced gun.

So, it shouldn't be gunk in the bolt causing firing pin drag. It's a new gun.

And, I don't think we're dealing with a head space issue.

I've yet to ID the primer. May have been vintage W/W, but they've been in climate controlled storage.

Hope they didn't shoot it again to see if would go bang, but can pass it to me so I can pull the bullet and examine the primer. I appreciate that suggestion.

Will report anything I learn.

Thanks, again.

DF,
Unless you checked the FP/interior of the bolt, there may be packing grease in there. Remington/Walker triggers in the early days came with a fair amount of packing grease and most shooters never bothered to clean the entire rifle before using it.
