Now we are all just basically riding around in plastic cups with wheels.

The culprit: broken bolt bufferThe bolt buffer is this white piece of plastic at the back of the bolt and half circles the firing pin. A small piece of it chipped off and jammed up the carrier release button. It didn't take much sleuthing on the web to learn that broken bolt buffers are 'a thing' with the SP-10. So I got online and ordered two.Thank you Old Gobbler and anybody else who put some mental effort into figuring out what went wrong. Happy hunting everybody!

Happy hunting everybody!My cousin and I have owned and hunted with sp-10's since the first year they came out. Very early 1990s if I recal.The bolt buffer cost me a follow up shot on a double one morning the first year I had it. It broke and jammed the bolt open. The white plastic bolt buffer is most likely the original for that gun. Ours all broke within the first year or so we had them. They are junk plastic. The replacement bolt buffers we bought were black plastic which have held up for near 30 years of torture. I have been told the replacement buffers are much tougher and we proved it.While you have the gun apart to fix it I recommend a thorough cleaning. We have beaten the hell out of our sp-10's and as long as you keep them clean especially after they get wet or submerged.....yes ours swim occasionally crossing deep water, they work very reliably.
