UPDATE-hammer thumb extention might be causing trouble?

Post by remshooter »

ORIGINAL POST.....Bought a like new (maybe never fired) 1983 or there abouts AE 94 back in NOV ,it fired factory ammo ok ,worked up a load ,and it fired all of them OK ,loaded up same ammo,same componets ,then added scope and thumb extention ,now it wont fire the ammo ,only put light dents in primers ,did not have the allen wrench with me to take it off ,would a thumb ext. add enuff weight to slow hammer down enuff to cause light hits in a rebounding hammer?

UPDATE-.....took off hammer ext. ,fired same ammo ,fired every round ,put differant brand hammer ext ,.. Uncle Mikes this time ,it fired every round ,near as i could fiquire ,the Uncle Mike brand is a little bit smaller ,giving more room between it and the scope ,.didnot see any hit marks on the scope ,or see it hit scope dry fireing it ,but must have been big enuff to just barely kiss the scope ,slowing down just enuff to cause misfires ,...Thank you for everyones help
