[quote=flounder33;3797282]Sometimes it took two strikes to set off a primer and a few of the primers never did go. It drives me nutz when I am shooting and I never know for sure if the gun will fire or not. This went on for the first seven or eight shots. Then I started being more aggressive with how I closed the bolt. This was easy because I was getting pi$$ed. Then the ignition got reliable. For the last dozen shots I had no ignition problems. I don't know if it was me being more aggressive in closing the bolt or if things were just getting broke in. Have any of you experienced this with your Lehigh conversions.

Normally but not always the problem when this occurs is tht the secondary safety has vibrated forward not allow the firing to fully extend. Turn the secondary safety all the way to the rear... tight. I actually put a dab or doo of bp grease on the threads to keep the safety from vibrating forward...
