I was shooting skeet today with a Winchester 23 (.410) and things went fine until the low house 7 on the second round. The left barrel failed to fire, though I could hear a faint click. The shell had the faintest mark on the primer. I opened and recocked the gun, move the unfired shell to the right barrel and had the same thing happen - a faint click, no boom. I finished with another gun.

Back in the clubhouse I opened and closed the gun a couple times, went outside and got it to fire normally again.

On the third round of skeet, the same thing happened again at low house 7 (the others thought this was hilarious).

My thought is that there is probably some dirt in and around the firing pin hole, but I am wondering if any of you have had a similar experience with their M23.

Thanks for reading.
