terence Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 when you've fired the 3rd shot it should eject cartridge and stay open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 (edited) I thought they were a two shot gun first shot blew the choke out and second shot split the barrel and blew the bolt out. So I'd say it would stay open after the last cart it fired with no bolt left to close. It's the only gun where the exploded parts diagram is the user manual for normal operation. Sure a mates said in the manual when trigger is pulled treat the gun as a grenade and lob as far as you can. If it fails to go off use as a hat stand.

mossy835 Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 i had one for 2 years and never missed a beat good gun, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TONY R Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Had a 20 ga one its 5 or 6 years old now, got it for the kids to start with, i have ended up using it for pigeons now. Has been briliant never an issue with it. Had a very old very tired 12ga magnum for a season, worked great, but i did kill that with a massively over pressure reload, that the test gun showed to be well over pressre, but the chrono results were just too enticing to resist and it took it for about 500 of these rounds which were trully awesome. Then it smashed a bolt lug taking the extractor and firing pin with it. Replaced the smashed up bits ran it a few months and sold it to a mate who still has it 5 years latter, puts a few thousand a year through it. lord knows how many rounds its fired in its life. They can break if you abuse them enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
