Brad93 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Don't fire the gun dry with no snap caps in though. Your firing pins will be flying out the end of the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malantone Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 I don`t care what anyone says, snap caps are made for a purpose, I don`t see how they can do any harm, I do believe they can save guns from harm when they are dry fired. I will continue to use mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus1988 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) I don`t care what anyone says, snap caps are made for a purpose, I don`t see how they can do any harm, I do believe they can save guns from harm when they are dry fired. I will continue to use mine. Personally, I know I can easily buy replacement hammer springs and (confidently) fit them. I have no idea about the ejector springs. So I'd rather have the hammer springs fail by not using snap caps than the ejector ones. This is an old Browning B26 though, more modern guns can't be much more complicated?

welshwarrior Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 What make cabinet is it most of my clients need one they put the gun way broken 6 months later and 2 days before they go shooting they take the gun out and as if by magic the gun is still broken.

I will continue to use mine. Made for a purpose... sold for a profit, unless you are in the habit of dry firing your gun they aren't required.... Unless you are a gunsmith or in the habit of "fixing" your guns.... There use to relieve tension on springs is pretty pointless with modern guns. And a browning 525 pin wont go bouncing down the barrel (if it does it needed replacing anyway or the gun needed scrapping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Repeated dry firing will snap any firing pin so if it must be done use a snap cap but not something needed at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent_keith Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Took it over the farm last night, pulled the trigger Nothing!!! Took the cartridges out, pulled the trigger again click, moved the barrel selector pulled the trigger again, click, put the cartridges back in, pulled the trigger, nothing!!! Pointed it in a safe direction kept pulling pulling the trigger, bang!!! Next 50 rounds worked faultlessly. Hmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Need a trip back to the seller and needs looking at. At least a stock of action clean re lube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent_keith Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Need a trip back to the seller and needs looking at. At least a stock of action clean re lube. I agree, just a quick question, do the ejectors have something to do with cocking the gun? Brilliant! Totally unhelpful, but I did laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Need a trip back to the seller and needs looking at. At least a stock of action clean re lube. Should have done this at first as clearly there is a recurrent problem. Fire it much more and the seller will blame you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Should have done this at first as clearly there is a recurrent problem. Fire it much more and the seller will blame you. How can the buyer be blamed for an intermittent mis fire? On a new gun? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent_keith Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Should have done this at first as clearly there is a recurrent problem. Fire it much more and the seller will blame you. Nothing like being direct, I take your point, but I have been asking advice from people more experienced than myself I case it was my fault and I'd done something wrong. I was in touch with the Gunshop yesterday and again today asking their advice, it's been documented by myself and the Gunshop and we (both not just them) have decided that I will continue to monitor the gun to see if it happens again. If it does I have time and dates to prove it happened, what I don't want to happen is Brownings send it back to me saying there's nothing wrong with it. How can the buyer be blamed for an intermittent mis fire? On a new gun? I agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
