I have an Iver Johnson Hercules 12 Gauge that I would like to take dove hunting. I amd have having two problems and wonder if anyone would be able to offer advice to fix them
1st, every so often the breech opens after I fire the left barrel. I have an original locking bolt and the barrels lock up tight.
2nd, the safety seems to rest every time I fire the right barrel. When I try to fire the second barrel, the safety is re-engaged.
I believe these problems both stem from the top lever or top lever tension spring. The safety resets every time the top lever is moved to open the action.
Has anyone experienced this before?
