AK Pistola not go bang

[CajunTim]

Ok so I am still working on my pistol from the build in February.
I can shoot 4-5 shots out of it rapid fire then it goes click. I then cock/clear/charge/rack whatever you want to call it and a live round ejects w/o having a primer strike on it. Anyone have any thoughts as to what might be occurring?

Thanks

Hammers not resetting ? Is the bolt going forward all the way ? Are you hearing a " click" when you pull the trigger ?

It does go click and the bolt is all the way forward. I will recheck it again this week and see. I shot it last week and it was having all kind of troubles. I cleaned it real good and took it out Friday and it did the click, click on me. I will try it again this week.
Damn that thing is loud though.

Weak Hammer strike???
(Need more info)

See if the hammer is draging on anything and make sure the hammer spring is properly placed.

I looked at the live shells that I had ejected last night after I had shut my computer down and they have the faintest firing pin strikes. I guess I didn't see them in the sunlight. I will try to pics up later of them.

While its empty.I repeat EMPTY pull the trigger and hold it down rack the slide then release trigger.you should hear a click (trigger reseting) then pull the trigger you should hear another click(hammer falling).Do this several times fast while listning for the clicks.When you come to the pinmatch on the 12th of october bring it so we can test it with live ammo.

Light strikes usualy mean reset problems.

First time doing that to an AK but it performed as it should I guess, only done it with an AR before.

What if I was to put my bolt from my rifle, not my-rifles's rifle; but my rifle in it and try it out. WOuld that at least narrow things down? Like if it works then it is the firing pin and if it don't then it aint the firing pin?

Thats how Sherlock Holmes would do it.LOLWhile you have the bolt out shake it to see if the firing pin is free and traveling.

I tried the old switcharoo and still the same thing. I will bring it Sunday along with the drimmel.
