Just picked up my first Greener GP and was hoping to get some answers to some questions I've had looking at it right out of the box. It's a 1975 case hardened GP 12 gauge 2 3/4" built by Webley & Scott.
Questions:
When screwing in the barrel, I'm not able to fully screw in the barrel for the stopper to latch, the wood seems to press against the receiver sooner than the metal piece hits the stopper slot so the barrel is very slightly crooked but the extractors still fit loosely in the openings, is this normal/safe to shoot?
The stock has a little bit of twist movement with some force applied and I'm worried that can cause damage to the stock under recoil, is there a way to tighten the stock to the receiver?
Using snap caps the shell is only ejecting when the lever is fully pushed down and it launches the shell out, rather than partially withdrawing with a softer shorter pull of the lever, is this normal and is there a way to fix this?
Thanks I appreciate any help! Very excited to shoot this but wanted to consult the experts first to protect it.
