rabbiter Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 why have a selective trigger if it only fires the same barrel after its switched,i would have thought that no it shouldnt mate,id have it checked out,im still gonna try mine though,and again ill let you know...

It is not really selective if a double barrel gun only fires one barrel with the selector set in one of the two possibilities.

colin lad Posted January 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 think a phone call to the shop is in order shame its a 50 mile round trip to take it back though colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Sounds like something is amiss in the mechanism, it should be top then bottom or selector other side should be bottom then top.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin lad Posted January 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Got to take it back Monday they recon the inertia block has a fault only thing if i need to leave it and go back to pick it up that's 3 trips over at £20 a time that makes it a dear problem on a gun i have only had 4 days Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Ship it back to them from local RFD or post office and they can ship it to you at home (as already on your cert) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 It's an inertia issue. They can collect the gun from you and return via courier be cheaper than driving if the RFD does the right thing personally if I sell a gun that has an issue first time out I collect and return FOC if it's a mechanical fault (not for user error though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
