Scotsman1886
Bearcat
I had something potentially tragic happen today.
I had picked up a low number Mark II target in great shape. Before shooting it I took it apart and, obviously, reassembled it. I had a few issues getting it together due to my inexperience with it but it seemed OK after and functioned OK.
I shot a magazine through it today with no issues, bolt locked back and I had a heck of a time getting the magazine out. Once I did, the bolt wouldn't
t close.
I took it home and took it apart, which was a bear since I had to force the bolt closed.
It looks like the recoil spring guide is bent at the rear. Not the rod so much as the "Y" end piece.
More disturbing is a frame pin just below the hammer strut is now in two pieces.
Taking it to the gunsmith tomorrow but has anyone had any similar issues?
