Hi All,
I've had a Yugo M57 for a couple of years now, and it's always had some problems. But in the past year or so I've noticed one that's really perplexing me. When I go to the range and shoot, occasionally the slide will not return all the way and I have to lightly tap on it to have the pistol return to battery. I've taken it apart and can't see anything that looks strange, and if I manually work the action it never seems to exhibit this problem. I've replaced the M57 spring assembly with a TT-33 assembly and a new spring which seemed to help for awhile, but I then the problem came back after a couple of range trips. I've switched back to the M57 assembly. On the last trip out shooting surplus ammo, there seemed to be a slight delay between when the gun fired and the action cycled, it was very odd.
I've put Surplus, S&B, PPU and some RAS ammo through the pistol. The only ammo that hasn't exhibited the issue so far is RAS, but I only put through a single magazine to try it out. I think it's safe to assume that if I shot more of it it would show this issue.
Thanks,
