pintail Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 hello, i was wondering if any one can give me any advice why my bettinsoli now keeps double firing, i know it is a problem with these guns, but i wondered if its a job i could fix myself or would have to be done by a gunsmith, any advice would be appreciated cheers.

HDAV Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 unless your competent at stripping the actions of shotguns, best left to a gunsmith (how old is the gun?) have a search sure i have read of this issue before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve42 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Bought one new about 5 year ago and had the same problem after about 200 shots went back to the shop i got it from 3 times and they still could'nt sort it out so got my money back .Pitty because i really liked the gun and shot well with it. Sorry this prob doesnt help you any but i believe it was a prob with the earlier models ATB Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Renowned for it. Sometimes it helps if you push the selector button over very hard to one side each time before firing. better still, get rid. I have it from a guy in the firing line of all these Bettinsoli problems that they are no better now that when they were first imported. I can`t understand why the importer doesn`t do something about it and why the shops keep selling them as it`s damaging all there reputations.

pintail Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 thanks for your replies, the gun is about 3 years old and i got fed up with all the problems with it, Ive had sears pins fitted, and springs breaking, and yes it is a **** gun and would not recommend them at all, in the end i bought a miroku mk60 and its a brilliant gun, i just wanted to get the bettinsoli sorted out to use as a spare gun, but might now trade it in for a auto as i think its best to get rid of the bettinsoli asap, cheers.

Canis Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 One of the chaps at my club has a Bettinsoli side plate that has demonstrated the same fault you describe. Another chap at the club has recently given up on a bettinsoli and bought a different gun after being fed up with trying to get it fire the second barrel(it wouldn't)! If Bettinsoli's where sub £500 budget guns, the mechanical faults might be forgivable to an extent but they are not, they are priced between £700-1000! I agree with Coach, If it is still in waranty, get the dealer to have it fixed then get rid of it quickly before it breaks again - if it isn't in warranty you might be better off PXing it with a dealer rather than paying to have it fixed !
