I purchased a Mauser 1934 that was reported to be mechanically functioning. Unfortunately the firing pin is not disengaging from the trigger bar, allowing it to move forward to strike the primer. The trigger clicks, the bar moves downward, but the firing pin doesn't disengage from the bar. The is experienced with the pistol disassembled and the same functions are noted when it is assembled.
I tried to down load a video of the action, and so far has not downloaded successfully (so I took photos of specific parts). If it doesn't, I can send it as an attachment in an email to help others see what I am experiencing (I have the pistol disassembled to show the moving parts (as long as this is allowed in this forum)
The seller has agreed to take it back, But I like the pistol and wish to see if I can resolve the problem and get it back into working order. I am familiar with full disassembly, replacing springs (have a spring packet from Wolf Springs, but these did not resolve the issue, so replaced the original springs), appropriately lubricating and re-assembly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Steve
