pigeon-hunter Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Wonder if any one can help? I have a 686 silver pigeon 1, i bought it 3 weeks ago brand new, ive put about 500 rounds threw it. When i was shooting on sunday i had a problem with it not fireing. It done it 3 times on the last 50 clays, the selector was on the bottom barrel, and when i pulled the trigger nothing happened, so i broke the gun, shut the gun and it fired fine. As i said it happened about 3 times. I put the selector on top barrel first and it didnt seem to do it. Is this a serious thing were i need to send the gun back or is it something that will sort itself out Any help would be great.

HDAV Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 COuld be a number of things if possible i would get it back to the shop. Stripping and cleaning the action may sort it but with a brandnew gun i would want it sorted at no cost and or risk how far away is the dealer?

utectok Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Check the cocking is working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxon88 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 did you hear a "click" after pulling the trigger when the mis-fire occured? if not then i would say its a cocking problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 If it was mine it would be straight back to shop time..sounds like a cocking issue,but as you have to break barrels right down to open it sufficiently to put a cartridge in it clearly has a slight cocking fault.I would change the gun,unless you particularly like the wood etc,but repair would undoubtedly mean sending it back to GMK and a time delay? Where did you buy it?I would expect a gunshop to sort out a swap pdq for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroku_fan Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 I have just returned a brand new Silver Pigeon 20 gauge to GMK via my dealer for the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
