I've never owned a hunting rifle, this is my first. I traded my Smith & Wesson SD9VE 9mm pistol, straight across for a 1973 Model 94, in pretty decent condition, at a local pawn shop last week.
I've shot a couple boxes through it and love it so far.
But yesterday I noticed the firing pin would clink back and forth when I moved the gun around. I don't know if it did this when I got it. I have read it's a non sprung pin, but should it make an audible "clink, clink" when tilting the gun back and forth? Shake the gun back and forth and it sounds like a spray paint can.
I've only shot 1 round through it since noticing the noise, just to see if it still fired. It did fine. Just don't want to use it anymore if it's not normal. I'll take it back to the shop and have him take care of it.
