Hi again,

I'm having a problem with my M1-22 trigger group.

It stopped firing, so I took it apart and put it back together. Dry fired it a bunch of times, no problem. Afterwards I took it to the range and fired 18 rounds of mini mags before I encountered the same failure. No click, no bang, no strike.

Took it apart again and observed the trigger group. It seems like when I pull the trigger, it doesn't engage the sear and release the hammer. When it starts to not work, I have to pull the trigger as hard as I can to fire, and then it stops working completely. Strangely the gun worked fine for about 100 rounds when I first got it, but now it doesn't function properly. Below is the exploded image of the trigger group.

Any advice before I spend an exorbitant amount on a gunsmith for a Chiappa rifle?

Bonus, I have one Chiappa mag that stovepipes every time. Anyway I can fix that?

Thanks
