I am having reliability issues with my carbine. It's a DCM rebuild Inland from WWII. The problem is that about 1 in 10 rounds will fail to fire with a "light strike" type problem. This happens with both my handloads and factory ammo.
When I eject the rounds, they usually have a very light primer strike, like the gun wasn't fully in battery and the rotating safety thing was engaging. The bullets often have light scratches, suggesting maybe they weren't chambering all the way.
I've already detail stripped the bolt and cleaned (what a PITA - next tiem I'm getting the tool!) and it's still happening.
Does anyone have a good idea for the next step in troubleshooting this?
Thanks,
Arclight
