Para 14-45 lda trigger fail to reset

[dustyroads]

I have a Para 14-45 Lda hi cap Ltd. The gun has recently begun to frequently not reset the trigger when going into battery. By all appearances and visual checks it is closed.

I have to open the slide approx 1/2 travel, the trigger will reset, let the slide close, and it will fire OK but will most likely not reset the trigger again. At most I can get two or three shots off before trigger does not reset again.
There does not seem to be a problem with feeding or ejection of shells either.

Firearm is clean, recoil spring should be OK ( approx 700 rounds fired).

Would you have any suggestions as to what I could check for problems

if the trigger isnt resetting then something is probably worn out. strip it down, and check the trigger visually, or bring it to a smith.

Think you are right on the strip down. The more I look at it I think the drawbar might be hanging up somewhere on its platform or hammer area

Thanks
