Tinley.30

I recently purchased the KAHR M1 Carbine and took it to the range this week for the first time.
I am using fresh Remington .30 cal ammo.
The rifle fails to fire every few rounds. I hear a click but no round fired.
I remove the cartridge from the chamber and reload it in the magazine and it fires, so it is not the ammo.
I saw this query in another forum. Seems to be some kind of a similar problem?
Maybe the firing pin is not hitting the primer fully every other time or so?
I am using KAHR magazine.
Any assistance please?
"Auto Ordinance M1 Carbine Problem
Bought a new Auto Ordinance (Kahr) M1 Carbine I had problems from the start...failures to fire about %50 of the time. After finally tearing it apart, looking at how everything fits together, and taking it back to the range I've come to a conclusion...the firing pin appears to be too short. It's a free floating firing pin (no spring) and I tested this on the range by tilting the weapon up (firing pin falls to the rear) and it fires %100 of the time, then tilting the rifle forwards (pin rests against the primer) and if fails to fire %100 of the time (no mark on the primer). Has anyone else run into this? Does Auto Ordinance use mil-spec parts?
