Hi Gentlemen, a friend brought his gun for me to have a look at, he said he's at the end of his tether as when it's fired, he opens its, it ejects the spent shells but when he reloads, he has to hold the gun open as the mainspring closes the barrels just enough to stop you placing a shell into the lower barrel. Easy solution seems to hold the gun open but he says it's starting to annoy him.
I've removed the stock and it seems the hammers cock well before the end of the travel or drop of the barrels but on opening them fully, the hammer continue to move back (as far as I can see, unnecessarily ) and when left to their own devices, will move back to the sear which then lifts the barrels slightly under power of the mainsprings.
Everything seems fine and in the right places inside but short of shortening the cocking bars and removing metal from other parts I can't see past the problem. Has anyone else had issues with this ? I've serviced and repaired and couple of the same make but not seen this happen on those.
Any ideas ?
