Recommended Posts

I have a bettinsoli 12g o/u single trigger

 

It fires the first shot no problem but wont fire the second shot, been told its a common problem with these guns

 

Is there anyway of fixing it and if so is it an expensive fix?

 

Im in north east if it helps as to where i can get it sorted

 

Thanks in advance

What cartridges are you using? a competent gunsmith is the answer but if using low recoil shells it may not be enough to set the inertia block they can get gundged up if oil gets into the action, do you store the gun stock down and oil it after every use?

the bettinsoli inside is crudely machined and sometimes the **** up...ive known of 2 where they had left material on the inertia block and they both had the same issue... 1 was brand new 2nd used to fire both barrels too at same time.

First of all what cartridges are you using? If they are light loads try something over 28g. Try it both way around o/u then u/o.

 

If this does not fix it, fire the first barrel take your hand full off the gun so you can't be hold in the trigger. Re grip the gun fire it again, insure utility still using the heavier loads. If this fixes it your at fault. If this and a heavier don't fix it it's time to see a smith not a gun shop.

had this on a lames o/u.

 

removed the action from the stock and it was reasonably clean to look at.

 

dropped it into an ultrasonic cleaner and you should have seen the crud that came out!

 

re lubed and put back together, and guess what? worked perfectly.

 

but as mentioned earlier, if you dont have a good idea of what your doing then a good gunsmith (not gunshop) is your best option.

 

:good:

There has been a problem with the Betinsolli's normal cure is to replace hammers and sears . This has been done under warrantee depending on age and who imported it . Your gunsmith should have know this as it has been a common fault .

Try John Foster on 01740 631110 near Sedgefield .

I have had three bettinsolis,its a common fault,the return springs for the firing pins are to strong,and as the main springs weaken over time it cant over ride the return spring,the gun smith replaced the return spring with a weaker one and it was fine,this happend to two guns i had so it could well be worth try.
