Mossburg tactical glitch

[skneub]

Not an old rifle by any standard , probly has 1500 rounds thru it
It has been cleaned and lubed
Heres the problem
Once in a while it hits the edge of the rim and fails to fire.
I was blameing the ammo but tonight i was looking at it and the fireing pin seems to fall away from the bolt.
Gravity sucks, now if i turn the bugger upside down and try a misfire again after recocking it it will fire it.
An aparant problem with the rifle that has been there since i got it

Anyone got a fix for it ?
Things only been in my hands 3 weeks its bran freekin new
its not the end of the world , but its not right

I have noticed the smae thing but like you i blamed the ammo? i did not know that would be a problem with the firearm.
I will shoot it a bunch more times and keep an eye on it with mine. i only have 400 rounds through mine.

It not only dont fire all the time , but it will fire them everytime if you recock it and hold it upside down
Seems from what i found with google they have issues with fireing pins
