Moved: NAA or Smithy
... shot my Mini Master at the range yesterday and after blaming the ammo initially, I realised, that the main spring seems to be weak/tired (because this MiniMaster was 1994 stock, plus the BlackWidow's feels much stronger) ... and, the firing pin might be damaged, due to some knuckleheads possibly dry-firing the revolver in the shop since 1994 ... we have two MiniMasters and by just looking at it, I can't see much difference between the two's firing pins ... there is however a difference to the firingpin of the BW (which is also much younger than the two MM's) ... tried it all: changed cylinders between all of them and different ammo's - same result every time - the concerned MM has 3 missfires out of 5 ...
the question is: should I have it sent to NAA (which is a mission, as this is Africa ) ... or should I let the smithy give it a try ...? ... might it be something, I could fix myself? ... advice would be much appreciated ... thanx in advance ... cheers and beers LetsFetz

LetsFetz, I'd first try some good ammo like CCI. If the problem persists and if the gun is under warranty send it back to the manufacturer. The problem could be either that you mentioned but for the sake of the warranty it's probably better to let them repair it. George
