Hey guys,
I was at the range today with my Bulgy 74 krink, and on about my 6th or 7th round I encountered a failure to fire. Looked down at the gun and discovered that the hammer axis pin had jumped out of its notch in the right side of the receiver, causing the hammer to get stuck at a screwball angle. WTF?
The configuration is as follows: professionally built 74 krink on an NDS receiver. I added a Red Star adjustable trigger that's given me at least a few hundred rounds trouble-free so far, and the retaining device is one of those plate-type replacements for the shepherd's crook. The retaining device seems to be in the correct position, so I'm clueless as to why this happened.
Anyone got ideas? Should I ditch the retaining device and learn how to install a proper shepherd's crook? Wave the magic voodoo chicken before I go to the range? Something else I'm not thinking of? I was hoping to make this krink a go-to gun, but as you can imagine this level of reliability doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
