Hello everyone,
This is my first post.
Not long ago, I purchased a used Anschutz model 1416 with a double set trigger. This rifle performed wonderfully for roughly two-thousand rounds. Then one day, and very suddenly, I had a misfire after shooting about one-hundred rounds. It was very strange. I would hear the click as I pulled the trigger but the cartridge didn't fire. When I inspected the cartridge after firing, there was no mark where the firing pin should have struck. I disassembled the bolt and all looked OK, and after putting everything back together, the rifle fired a couple of shots fine, but mis-fired afterward. I meticulously cleaned the bolt and trigger assembly, and again, the same results - a few shots fired before mis-firing. Another thing I noticed was when the rifle was mis-firing and I pulled the front trigger without pulling the set trigger first, it was very hard to pull. I didn't force it. However, if I pulled the set trigger first, the front trigger behaved normally, but misfired.
Looking at all the parts when I had the rifle disassmebled, I could find nothing obvious broken.
I have written Anschutz explaining the situation, but figured I should also put this question to this forum.
If anyone can provide insights to this bizarre problem, I'd be hugely appreciative.
Thanking you for your time.
