Marlin 917VS Light Strikes

[Chromaflage]

A while back I bought a used Marlin 917VS. The first time I took it to the range, it seemed to have a light-strike issue about every 7th or 8th round or so. I even tried four different types of ammo with the same results. Any ideas? I plan to break it down and do a thorough cleaning and bolt inspection. I was trying to find the specs on this on Marlin's web site, but they don't seem to provide the info any longer. Thanks in advance.

Lubing firing pin and spring? Take bolt out and thoroughly clean it?
