Hey I was looking for some advise on my rifle. I have cleaned this gun oiled it and I can not get it to cycle. It fires ejects the old case and puts a new round in the chamber but when you pull the trigger nothing happens it seems like the fire pin doesn't reset. If I pull back on the action and manually rack a new round it works but then after the shot I have to manually rack a new round again any suggestions? thanks

Probably the best thing to do is take it to a gunsmith you've used before and get it checked and probably get a new firing pin. Dave

That's what I was thinking I may do, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something simple I was missing. My buddy had it before me and said it fired fine I'm not sure if he took it apart.

I bet it is gunked up, technical term, around the recoil spring.
It will not let the action travel all the way back to reset the firing pin.
I had one for many years and I had to tear it all the way down for cleaning about 3 times for the same problem.
With some brands of ammo the action will really get fouled, even around the back of the bolt.
