Buck Mark Rifle FTF

[Northern Rockies]

Has anyone experienced alot of FTF with this rifle? mine is about 3 years old and all of a sudden I get one every 5-10 rounds, it looks like the firing pin isn't striking the rim of the case as hard as it should, any thoughts would be appreciated.

It's possible that the firing pin is worn....but seeing as I have had a BMR with over 30,000 malfunction-free rounds through it, I would be more inclined to believe that it is either the ammo lot, or the rifle needs a good cleaning. Fortunately, both are easy to check
