border Scott Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I bought a Webley and Scott 912g new a couple of months ago and have been shooting ok with it. I have only put maybe 150 shots through it. Most of these have been through the first barrel as ive hit most of what ive needed to with one shot but on several occasions ive went to fire the second barrel and nothing happens. No mis fire or anything, just a solid trigger. If i then switch over the barrel selector and back again it fires fine. It will then fire ok on both barrels. I have been using Eley carts. Any ideas of what the problem is? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexr Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Have heard from a gunsmith friend of mine that they often dont oil the actions when they are made, so if there is any delay between manufacture and perchase they rust. He also said though that its easy to put right, and they work like a treat once they have been fettled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSS Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Either you aren't letting go of the trigger completely, or it has gone rusty, or sticky inside the action. Try letting go of the trigger completely, if that fails, take it back to where you bought it from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am defo letting go of the trigger between shots so i know its not that but i will take it back to where i got it. Its got a lifetime guarantee but i wasnt planning on using it after just a few trips out. Either that or i will stick it back in the cabinet and get my old yeoman back out. Thousands of shots and never missed a beat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSS Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 If you can't blame yourself, it has to be the gun mate My yeoman is the same, never a miss-fire or hang fire, and never a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 On a Bettinsoli that I had the selector could easily be moved to a central position which would stop the second barrel from firing so I had to make sure that the switch was fully to one side or the other. If that is not what is happening then, of course, take it back and get it fettled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Sounds like the weight inside that moves back under recoil to change the striker it engages on is stuck. Might be worth whacking the stock off and having a fiddle if this doesn't invalidate the warranty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
