otherwayup Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Hi, Just bought a 2nd hand Rizzini O/U. Took it out for the first time and have noticed that when you break it, it slightly closes itself meaning the lower cartridge can't be removed/fitted. If you hold it open, then there is no problem, but release it and it springs very slightly closed. Makes things a bit awkward. I'm going to talk to the shop etc. but wondered if anyone else has had/seen similar problems. Cheers, Darren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluke2 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 This sometimes happens if the guns hinge has been tightened recently if so it will wear back in eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 My Beretta broke on Sunday and I carried on shooting with a friends E Rizzini - it did exactly the same thing. I wouldn't worry, but it was a pain loading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBL Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 My Rizzini has done this for 20 years and it has never really been an issue, even in a busy spell of shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrie Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Hiya, My Rizzini does the same thing, annoying at the start when I first got it, but now I'm used to it...not a problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrangmar Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 cocking rod in the bottom of the reciever is too long I would guess. Needs a bit of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampire Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 My rizzini does this,i had a baikal that did it and a .410 Thought it was so you could carry gun loaded but broken and then give final tension on fore end to eject non fired cartridges !

Pastiebap Posted November 10, 2010 Report Share Posted November 10, 2010 My Rizzini is exactly the same. Must just be the way of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Doesn't bother me either. Too nice a gun, for the price, too worry about. I've had mine from new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam f Posted November 13, 2010 Report Share Posted November 13, 2010 Mine too! But for £200 with nice wood and sideplates - it's a little issue - dont even notice it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
