Any of you Smiths out there have a decent breakdown of the .22 semi rifle? I have one that refuses to consistently engage the sear, I believe. At least that's my guess. It will cycle by hand perfectly, but actual shooting, every few rounds, at random, the firing pin is not locked back and since it protrudes from the bolt face, prevents the next round from "sliding" into alignment with the chamber so of course it jams. I'm open to any ideas.
I know the sear spring housing is a bit tricky to get in, and I am not the first one to work on this rifle. Yes, the sear housing was crsos-threaded, but I have all of that straightened out. Since it seems to shoot normally part of the time, I believe (and best I can see) that the spring and housing are all in place correctly.
