captainhastings Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I did it once or twice when first got it over a year ago but then stopped. But out of the blue it started this morning. Thought at first it was cartridges but tried different ones and the same every 2 out of 4 i click solid click but they don't go off. Happens on both barrels But gutted I shoot so well with it compare to other and I can stick any ammo through it. Worth taking the stock off ? But other than lub not much I can do any way. I did give it very light grease in there few weeks ago and I mean light Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DUNKS Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Are you getting any strike on the primers at all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gordon R Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Either worn pins, pins dragging or the space they slide in has got dirt in it. If there is a sign of a strike, I would remove the stock, take the firing pins out, check the length of the narrow part of the pin for wear, clean out the hole and make sure they slide without binding. WD40 and compressed air are your friends. Edited December 5, 2020 by Gordon R Quote Link to post Share on other sites
London Best Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 If it was working before you put grease in there, then that is the first thing to look at, surely? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

captainhastings Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Well had 3 shots at teal tonight and no clicking so fingers crossed that has done it. Another lesson learned Quote Link to post Share on other sites

captainhastings Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Just as an update on this. It worked fine that evening after clearing off most the grease but the next morning on the ducks it was icey cold and it played up again. So stripped it down and got all the grease off I could see which was only a minute bit. Then hosed with wd40 and it has been perfect since. So as said above it needs no friction and I assume in the cold even the tiny amount grease was enough to fowl it. So thanks for the advice folks all good now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
