I neep a bit of help. I got a P308 14.5, it’s an amazing rifle, shooting great groups, and just a dream. I have a little issue with her though’ when I pull the trigger I just get a click, when I look at the round it doesn’t even look as the firing pin hits the primer, no mark. It happens rarely. I have seen a lot of stuff before but nothing like this. I have seen the firing pin hitting to light, but there is still a mark on the primer then. Like I said this rarely happens too, and happens with shi**y ammo like Wolf and also with good ammo like Hornday TAP. Now I did put a Enidine Hydraulic Recoil Buffer, also my Firing pin retaining pin is bent, it has been since the first time I went to shoot, but the rifle still works great and I plan to order a few new ones. I don’t see how a bent firing pin retaining pin would do something like this, I don’t really see how the Enidine Hydraulic Recoil Buffer would either. Please hook me up if you have any ideas, I’m out. Thanks for your time
Do me and yourself a favor. Get rid of the Enidine crap and put it back in it’s original configuration. Also, contact PoF and ask for a new firing pin retaining pin.
Seems to me that if the retaining pin is bent, it could potentially ride against the firing pin in a manner that would impede proper travel of the firing pin. No?
TXSUT, I think your right, I ordered 3 new pins, and I’ll see how it goes from there. The Enidine buffer I don’t see would do this, and seems to help smooth the action even more and take the recoil down slightly.
Eggers,
Don’t take my word for it. Enidine has shown time and again to cause more problems than they fix. Just wait till the hydraulic fluid starts leaking out.
I’ll check more into them, mine seems to work well and helps at the action, but I’ll get more info to see.
Those buffers cause so many operational problems. Take it out and try it. Don’t be too enamored with your purchase to admit it might be the cause of the problems.
I will first get a new reatining pin, and if that doesn’t fix my issue I will take out the hydraulic buffer and put the stanard one back in and see then.
Keep us posted.
How’d this turn out?
Any updates would be great. Thanks.
