I took Mak number 2 out to the range today for the third time. In previous outings I have experienced light strike misfires about once per mag. This time the result was different, there were no misfires in perhaps two mags but a series of misfires during one or two other mags. This pistol has never misfired double action, only single action. With the series of misfires, the round would always fire on the second attempt, double action.
I have removed the firing pin and cleaned the firing pin well. All looks satisfactory. I replaced the main spring with one from Makarov.com. The previous time I went to the range I switched slides on my two Maks and both fired fine through two mags each. I cannot see any difference between Mak number 1, which has always performed perfectly, and Mak 2, which has this misfiring problem. I am truly puzzled. Any further ideas? I have a number of spare parts, including hammer, sear, and trigger bar.
