Ok i have a 223 (mak 90) rifle that is doubling... and last time i had it out it sent 4 downrange.. lucky my hold was tight and I blasted a baseball sized hole in my target however... This is way unsafe. i like my 'uility" rifle but i in no way shape or form want rounds going downrange when I haven't intended.
The problem , according to the ppl over at AK47.net is that the FIRING PIN spring on 223 AKs is very weak.. and can allow the pin to stick... wobble and extend past the bolt face so even if the sear engages.. the pin going back into battery sets the rifle off. This was a major prblem of the preban 84S, and 223 mak90's as well.
i'm fairly ceratin i don't have a worn sear or other problem.,. the gun has had few rounds through it (5-600) and the internals look crisp and i keep it well oiled and cleaned...
any ideas.. parts supply houses and wild a$$ guesses welcome.
WHERE theHECK can i get a replacement (better) spring??
