You're quite welcome.
One thing I noticed right off is that the mainspring pressure seemed to change. I know sometimes things just get weak with age but this was a new gun.
What it was is the burrs on this part had to wear off before adjustment and I didn't allow enough break in time for that. (Good 30-30 rounds ain't cheap. Even cheap ones ain't cheap!)
That linkage actually changed in length after I bent it by wearing off the burrs. There were burrs where it contacts the spring and more where it contacts the hammer. There were more on the receiver where the spring seats up to it.
So I would suggest you take that out, deburr it, put it back in, check the action, and decide whether it needs to be stiffer or looser for a solid pin strike.
