A friend brought his new-to-him MX3 to the range and had trouble opening the gun.
I looked at it and the top firing pin hole was "dished in" and enlarged around the edge.
On firing with factory Federal 12 ga, he had to break the gun over his knee to get it open. There was a smear mark on the fired primer and the primer protruded slightly, enough to trap the firing pin.
Has anyone experienced this,or seen this? I presume the hole can be bushed. He has just bought the gun, should he get his money back?. Was he shafted?
Is the MX3 of lower quality than the MX8? The barrels do not have the side locking lugs of the MX8.
I'll try to photograph the breech face and the base of the hull, which was a new one when fired. Any help appreciated!
