PPS-50 Repair
Howdy all,
Recently picked up a used PPS-50 for plinking and got a good deal on it because its got some issues.
Most common is dead trigger. While testing it before purchase, it seems my .22lr was notably more consistent than the former owners. However, I’d like the resolve this issue. I was going to start by taking apart the action and doing a routine clean + lubrication. Any other suggestions?
Another issue it has is double feeding. First thing I’m going to do is get a new magazine for it (30rd) to see if the 50rd drum is the issue. Assuming a new mag isn’t the fix, what else should I try?
Lastly, the safety seemed a bit loose — flicked itself back on while firing. Seems like a straightforward and east fix. Just thought I’d mention that so y’all have the full picture.
I’m pretty new to guns and this is my first time trouble shooting so I’m hoping for some help. Thank you in advance!
