Slooooooooooow non-fire

[OC-Indian]

Tried to shoot my M44 and when the trigger is pulled it operates so slooooooowly it doesnt have enough force to fire. Everything cycles just fine and I dont know enough about these to spot whats wrong. So where do I start?

Cosmolone in the bolt? Did you completely disassemble and clean it?

That's my first guess. Take the bolt apart and clean the internals, if you haven't already.

I got an m24/47 that was the same way when I took it out of the box. It was caked full of cosmo.

Also, you need to check the firing pin run-out, especially after you disassemble the bolt to clean it. Did you get one of the little tools with your carbine?

You may need a new firing pin, or spring, or both

Thanks everyone. I'll clean the crap out of it and see if that helps

For bolts I like to disassemble them and boil the cosmo off in water. Makes it easier to get the cosmo out of the tight spots. Dry completely and oil it well and then reassemble.
