You probably need a new firing pin return spring. Those little things can get flattened if the gun had been dry fired before you got the gun. I think Bellm sells a beefed up return spring or the factory ones work fine too if they don't get damaged.

I went out today and shot it a little more. Definately agree with what Mar336 and others that have suggested this are saying. It looks like the pin isnt moving back like it is supposed to. Gonna call T/C tomorrow.

I didn't actually speak to the tech. Just the guy that was calling to get the address where to send it. He couldnt make much out from the notes so either i may have misunderstood or he may have misread something. Will post the results when i get the sheet in my hand.

Doesn't take that much to stretch a frame. Why do you think TC doesn't make any barrels in the Remington ultra mag or large weatherby magnum calibers? Frame stretch, just ask Kerry at Match Grade Machine.I've seen guys have barrels made or rechambered to these and shoot them on their Encores and valla! Frame stretch!

I had a barrel made in .223 WSSM rifle shot it about300 times and it never streached the frame. I sold the barrel as I dident like it It wouldent stabilize 70 gr bullets.
