I have a Springfield 1903 ser# 1367783 hunting rifle manufactured in 1930. I have hunted with this rifle since 1990, fired it many times. However have not used it in last 5 years. Went to sight it in and it won't fire. The firing pin is not striking the primer. I pulled the bolt out and can see the pin, when I pull the hammer back the pin retracts. There seems to be plenty of power from the spring when pulling the hammer back. Any idea how to fix this. I looked at how to take the firing pin out, but can't see how to do that.
