Please forgive me the long post but I really need some help here.
I was having problems with FTF and fail to eject on my GSG-5 SD. I purchased this in November and have put maybe 1500rds through it.
I took it apart and discovered a set screw (firing pin retaining screw, i think) had backed out on the bolt assembly and damaged the bolt assembly as well as was causing short strokes. This was what I figured was causing the fail to feed and fail to eject.
I contacted ATI, they gave me and RA number, I sent the gun to them (somehow I ended up paying for this shipping), and they "fixed" it and sent it back to me.
The first time I took it to the range I discovered the trigger would not reset under certain conditions.
If I release the trigger as soon as the gun goes off, the trigger resets and everything is fine.
However, if I squeeze the trigger and follow through, hold the trigger back while the empty case ejects and the next round is loaded. After the bolt has seated, if I then release the trigger it stays back. I have to push it forward with my finger to get it to click into place.
I don't ever remember it doing this before I sent it to ATI, and none of my other firearms do this.
I have taken the trigger assembly apart several times since, I have checked springs, pins, alignments, etc. I cannot find any reason why the trigger is not resetting.
I will be taking the bolt apart tonight when I get home.
Has anyone ever seen this before? Is this how this gun is supposed to function and I am just going crazy?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
