Ok, finally had a chance to take my Imbel FAL to the range. Here's what happened.
I got the gas set to properly eject a round, it's set to a 4. So I load up a full magazine to have fun. I chamber a round, the bullet feeds fine, pull the trigger, it fires and the case ejects, and the next round feeds fine. NOW, here's the problem - I then pull the trigger to find that it doesn't go click, - it's like it didn't reset. Here's the freaky thing though, I can sit and cycle the bolt manually and pull the trigger every time and it works fine, goes click everytime. I can even pull the bolt back about 1/4 way manually and the trigger hammer goes back and sets to normal position. Again, when I pull the trigger with a bullet in it the trigger doesn't reset, yet it still ejects the case.
Any ideas where I should start trouble shooting?
The bolt?
The trigger?
The spring in the buttstock?
Gas?
