I've got a contender carbine in .30-30. My son and I loved it until misfires began to increase. It's had a habit of misfiring via light primer strike. This is with factory ammo. 3 in a row almost cost my boy a nice buck this fall. Shot fine after that.
I said enough is enough and sent it to the factory for service. It will arrive at the factory early this week. Would anyone like to guess what the cause of the light primer strikes will be? I can post the answer when I get the rifle back.
The frame has a cougar on it. I can't remember any other details to help you date it.
