Default Failure to Fire DA Old Hand Ejector

I recently bought this old .32-20 HE (Ser. 1002xx). Took it to the range the first time and had a lot of FTF's when shooting DA. Might get 2 to fire in a cylinder.

Took the gun home, gave it a thorough cleaning and replaced the mainspring and the rebound spring (which had been bubba'd). Went back to the range and had the same issue with DA FTF's. 100% ignition in SA and probably 30% in DA. The firing pin does dent the primers but not hard enough most of the time.

Any ideas what to check next. Thanks
