Okay, for those who have been following my Bauer pistol saga, below is posted a photo the the gun with the new parts installed and the old parts displayed. You can see the broken extractor, the bunged barrel, and the busted grip. New grip has a chip in it but it still looks better. And the old mag release latch had to be repaired but works great now.
Okay so after installing the new extractor I was ready for the gun to at least run as well as when I first got it. (90 rounds, two jams). BUT When I pull the trigger the firing pin goes click and nothing happens. (Yes, I loaded it first. )
Dismantled the thing and discover that the firing pin is hanging up in the "channel" it runs through. Lube doesn't help. Stretching the spring a touch doesn't help. It seems to hang up right about where the pin that holds the extractor in place goes through the slide. Is it possible that pin is the problem. I can't see anything but haven't got it on the workbench under a magnifying glass yet.
What should I look for.
Life is good.
