Stoeger Firing pin not retracking

I've got a Stoeger Comp. Condor that the bottom firing pin is not retracting all the way once it's fired.

The shell hangs up on the pin, but with a little force it does break open and the pin is then fully retracted.

Is there something that I can adjust or does something needs to be replaced?
Please don't suggest replacing the gun, I know it's a cheap POS, but it works well for a beginner trap shooter and he's shooting it well.

Thanks,

Have you pulled the stock off and cleaned out the innards? the comp, i USED to have was very dirty(brand new)with packing grease,shavings and grit.

i use 100% mineral spirits to soak the trigger assembly,use compressed air to blow out the gunk(may do this a couple of times) then a light re-lube.

Well I got it apart and on the rear spring that controls how far the firing pin retracts was missing a sleeve nut. I checked the gun and couldn't find the nut anywhere. Perhaps it fell out when I pulled the stock off, but I looked around and couldn't find it.

Anyway, I moved the nut from the top barrel's spring to the lower barrel's spring and made some adjustments and now it doesn't hang up.

I guess I'll call Stoeger on Monday and see about getting a replacement nut.

***UPDATE*** I decided to take everything back apart and see if the sleeve nut was in the trigger assembly. I found the nut, it had worked it's way into a hole in the stock. Installed the nut and made some adjustments.

Thanks,
