JDog Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Yesterday my gun double discharged several times. Once I had changed over the selected barrel the problem was eliminated. Could anyone throw any light on the likely problem and potential cost to put right? I do not want to be sending 58 grams of lead towards too many more pigeons.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 If the selector stuck in a sort of inbetween stage it could cause that to happen Can I suggest a strip and clean as the first approach to a fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 has it been serviced at all. ? maybe a trip to the smith, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aga man Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Never experienced this personally but heard many folk say a good clean up of the action internals usually sorts it. For the record tan had this issue with one his guns a while back and it seemed to correct itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Was it a single and bang or a bang bang very quickly. Either way I’d get a gunsmith to give it a going over it could be just dirty it could be a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 Take the stock off and give it a good clean although the correct answer should be get a gunsmith to service it 👍😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 My son had this same problem with his Miroku MK70 Game. Went into the gunsmiths twice, stripped cleaned, firing pins replaced, sears replaced selector replaced and something else I can't remember. It got so bad he bought another identical gun off here to replace it. On collection the second time, I test fired it local to the shop and it was ok. First time he fired it same again. Took it back for third time, dealer came out with us and test fired it, double discharge, then a delayed discharge. Downright dangerous. He took it back to gunsmith who ended up having to skim and polish the new parts to a perfect fit. He had it for around 6 weeks, it's perfect now. I can't remember all the technical detail but can give you the dealers phone number, he might be able to put you on the right path. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunman Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 A few thoughts . 1 operator error , not holding firmly enough 2 dirt in action ,this could be a flake of wood 3 sears not free on there springs due to dried oil or corrosion 4 gun not cocking fully 5 barrel selector not correctly positioned 6 sears not engaging correctly 7 Stock loose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salopian Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Three specific areas to inspect closely , 1. Inertia block is clean and free to operate fore and aft and side to side . 2. Sear engagement is clean and sharp (unlikely that this is the issue ) 3. Trigger return spring stuck or weak or broken . ( highly likely to be the cause of the problem ). Strip clean and light lubrication often cures a miriad of problems . The real answer is a strip and clean by a COMPETENT Gunsmith (hard to find nowadays in our throwaway society ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With too many "injury lawyers by telephone" the last thing to do with a gun that is faulty (as above described) is do a DIY fix. Have someone do it that has liability insurance to cover repair work.

Sorry to quote my original answer, but please read it properly, where did I suggest trying to fix it without recourse to a COMPETENT Gunsmith?

Salopian Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 You didn't suggest taking it to a gunsmith ! I suggested taking it to a competent gunsmith after reading Centrepins post . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
