Hi guys,
I have a problem with an MK38 that I have had for about 4 years and I would like to find out how to fix it.
Basically the opener sticks. What I mean by that is, sometimes it take all my strength to move the release lever to the right to open the gun.
I have looked for any burrs or anything but can't find it. Gave the catch down the bottom of the actual a good clean and rub with some emery paper, but no change.
It's been like that since I bought it, and the old timers at the range said it just needed to wear in. Well, I have probably put 5000 rounds through it since I bought it, and still no change.
Almost became a problem at the last comp as I could not get the action to open on Lane 5 and was about to call for help when it finally let go.
I have also noticed that the lever is not in the middle when shut! If anyone else has a Miroku and can check theirs, that would be great.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
J
