sitsinhedges Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I have a Franchi Alcione One in 20g, owned it for a few years and it's been a great gun apart from getting an occasional light primer strike on the bottom barrel. Has anyone any idea what could be causing this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 It happens. Shove it through again; if it doesn’t go off then it’s probably the primer and not your gun. Or put it in the offending barrel and try again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancer425 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 It does happen but Weak hammer spring possibly, not that hard to do if you take the stock off you should be able to see if any of the gaps in the coil spring are closer together which will indicate the spring getting weaker, it wont be uneven looking because of the guide rod.
