daisyrob1 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hi whilst out at the weekend I noticed the bottom barrel firing pin sticking out a couple of mill tilt the gun back it goes back in gun functioned a normal, whilst cleaning later I noticed a rattle coming from the action, any idea what it could be? Is it a easy fix for a gunsmith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNKS Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 The bottom firing pin on my Browning is not spring loaded. Only the top one. You dont say what gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daisyrob1 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Sorry folks it's a acciaio circa 1967 I believe it's a sidelock hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmaxphil Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 As to the rattle sounds like a broken firing pin, a strip down is in order I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 O/U sidelock ? Sounds a bit strange for an Italian gun of that vintage . First guess is a broken striker . Only way to be sure is to remove it and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 Gunman , I have to agree , possibly more likely a sideplated boxlock . daisyrob where are you? I've probably got a new firing pin in stock . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've probably got a new firing pin in stock . Thanks for the kind offer I got the gun from a relative so don't know a lot about the gun or guns for that matter! My uncle mentioned it was a sidelock got lots of pins and screws on the action, would they be just decorative? I'm based in South wales got 4 rfds in a 30 mile radius a1 guns, nj guns, keens and merlin can anybody recommend any of these? Thanks to all members input T.

Gunman Posted September 15, 2020 Report Share Posted September 15, 2020 You need a gunsmith .A gun shop is not necessarily the same thing . If they do not do repairs " in house " you need to find the person they go to ..Every hand in puts the cost up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
