Wakka Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Recently purchased a Rizzini V3, so far has been excellent for busting clays. However when I break the gun to eject cartridges it ejects them fine but then the barrels rock back slightly and I can't put a cartridge in the bottom barrel unless I pull down slightly on the forend. The natural "resting" position on the break is a fraction out of line stopping a new cartridge going in the bottom. Gun shoots and ejects perfectly fine other than that was just looking for some guidance on what might be causing the barrels/foreend to rock back slightly.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Welcome to Pigeon Watch! Sounds like it has new gun syndrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 I would second that. Sometimes it never gets any better though. I had a Beretta 20 bore that was several years old and had fired 1000's of cartridges, that had some 'overdraught' and it was a right pain, especially on a driven day or a clay shoot 'flush' !

strimmer_13 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Youll get used to it. It will get easier. My sxs and a o/u was the same. Just learn to tuck the gun in your side when loading/unloading whilst freeing your hand to grab carts. Failing that the subject has been breached (no pun) on here a few times.

Wakka Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Thanks! I did think this, From a bit of inspection that it's the ejector cocking levers are a bit keen on new springs, by no means a deal breaker just a tad annoying at the moment.😁 Just now, strimmer_13 said: Youll get used to it.

Wakka Posted February 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Thanks for the responses I've been shooting about a year and I think I just got used to the quirks of my other gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strimmer_13 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Could try a bit of lead flashing on the end? It would help with the swing and follow through as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 This is common with many O/U's if its an older gun it may be worse as wear on the cocking rods/cam occur . If the forend is slightly loose it will make it seem worse so may be tightening it up will help , but is really a matter of just getting used to it .

welshwarrior Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Very normal the cocking rods are often a touch short allowing the rock back but much better than too long! It happens with many many guns and imho something you just need to get used to with OUs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sereremo Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Don’t worry, it’s not an issue, it’s normal in several Italian shotguns. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakka Posted February 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Shot again today and after another hundred it's certainly getting a little easier to remember to do it naturally. Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
