I purchased this Original Haenel/Aydt about a year ago and have worked up an accurate load for it even though it is in a cartridge no one has been able to identify, so far. It is the first iteration. Ever since I started shooting the rifle the firing pin strike has been very light, just barely dimpling the primer. I am surprised some of them fire. There has been a few failures to fire but they've been rare, fortunately. I am using Remington 9 1/2 LR primers because I've always heard they were soft. Goodness...all that to get to my question, sorry. Can someone tell me how to take it down so I can see if it's really dirty or if perhaps the spring needs replaced? Or, is it something a home/hobbyist gun crank shouldn't tackle? I'm pretty handy with a rifle and definitely patient....most of the time. If the spring is indeed weak are they available or is it something that will have to be made? Thanks for any assistance!!
