Yes, Philbert, there are drag marks. No, there is no gunk in anything. Firing pins move freely. Gun otherwise operates and shoots without a hitch.
Now, I've described the gun and its condition already. It is a very specific type of action and manufacturer, so I'm hoping to hear from someone knowledgeable to shed light on whether it is supposed to have firing pin retraction springs. I can shorten the firing pin nose by 20 or 30 thou, but I don't want to do this unless I understand the intent of the design. Without that understanding, to go further would merely place me in the league of gun bodgers, where I don't want to be.
