Mauser C96 not firing.

I have a 7.63 C96 that has but one problem, pulling the trigger does not always result in the pistol firing. Basically, the hammer doesn't drop with every pull - resulting in no boom-boom.

Does this mean I need a new trigger spring? I've taken apart the gun and it doesn't seem too complicated. But are there any other possibilities for this kind of malfunction?

Another issue I'm having is the firing pin screw is nearly stripped. Any idea on how to get it out so I can replace that as well? (I got it used, I didn't strip it.)

I think I can do it myself, but am I better off sending it to the local gunsmith? I'm a pretty competent hands-on kind of person so I am confident in my own abilities.
