Well the CORRECT spring came last night, which solved the main problem. Now I think it may be the firing pin itself. Installed spring worked great for about 3 cycles and then started binding up. Disassemble/reassemble- samething. Disassemble, spin firing pin and it works. My guess it must be...

No, this just started. No binding when the spring is removed, which is why I also thought it was the spring. Don't know why the original bound up though. Literally it was working fine and then it bound up- so I replaced it from Brownell's which I think is the wrong spring- measures 4.5" and 32...
