Default looking for help

I live in lethbridge Alberta and am having trouble finding out how to repair a Squires Bingham Model 20 .22LR it seems that for some reason the gun will only fire one shot and will not fire semi auto. you have to cock it and reload it for every shot? Any thoughts on what could be wrong or where to get it fixed?

Chris doesn't have his shop anymore but I think he's still doing gun work out of his home. He worked for a time for the RCMP armourer if I'm not mistaken. I'll bet Ted at Marksman would know how to get a hold of him.
