Yildiz won’t fire second barrel

[owain]

My sons 20 bore Yildiz has developed a bit of an annoying problem. No matter which barrel is fired first, occasionally the second barrel won’t fire. It will dry fire fine, any idea what the problem could be? Cheers.

He maybe not releasing the trigger enough after the first shot.

Could be it wants a good cleaning inside

I knew a lad who, when he went to college, had to swap his SxS 20 for an OU 20 to ‘fit in’ with all his mates. He bought a Beretta 20 and never once could he get the second barrel to fire. The gun worked just fine for me, and for his father, who had never used a single trigger or an OU in his life. The youth persisted for two years and then reverted to double triggered SxS which he still uses over twenty years on.

Good points thanks gents. I should say that this has happened to me while I have been using the gun. But I will try giving a good clean and fully releasing the trigger after the first shot.

Did you buy the gun new? Before opening her up make sure you dont have any warranty on the gun.

Friend of mine had am issue with his Yildiz.  Turned out he had used the wrong grease inside which prevented the second barrel from firing. Not sure what he has used but cleaned it all off and put in the correct grease/pil and never had an issue again.

Well interestingly enough it's also a thing I had with my Boss. Not it not working as well ordered Boss single triggers are bombproof but my trying to pull the front trigger a second time when using a double trigger gun every now and again. Boss offered a standard double trigger option on their guns so I guess back in the day purchasers also thought it might cause them the same problem? Trying to pull the front trigger twice when using their other guns?

I'm sorry but I don't know what he used. I was shooting woodcock with him and he kept not getting the second barrel off and was getting really annoyed about it. About 2 weeks later we were chatting and he sadi he had the problem sorted out and told me about the grease. I didn't ask him anymore.

Yes I agree entirely, in fact most of the major single trigger problems occurred on ENGLISH guns  ! Because I use both double and single trigger guns, without a problem, I can never understand those that condemn either system. I must have been fortunate with the vast number of guns that I have shot or owned in over 60 years of shooting, apart from ridiculously light or heavy trigger pulls, I have never had a trigger problem, that includes the 3 Yildiz guns that I have owned.

I would contact the current Yildiz importers and seek their advice.

Correct in one sense OPP, but your consumer rights are far more than 2 years (up to 6 in most cases), if the gun was bought ,say, 3 years ago new it would still be the dealers responsibility to sort it out.

100% agree. I can also use single or double without even noticing the difference, but, I would never buy a single trigger because, a) they are just something to go wrong and b) they are simply unnecessary. 
Some years ago I was offered a Boss at a very attractive price for such a gun. But the single trigger was prone to double discharge. I asked if the vendor would have the problem fixed before I bought the gun. At our next contact he was in shock at the quoted £7-8k. That killed the deal as he had only asked that for the gun.

I have picked this up late - but here’s my experience for what it’s worth. I have had the exact same problem with a Yildiz 410 and it was very straightforward to resolve. The second trigger pull relies on a falling block which is gravity operated - so no spring return. This can get ‘gummed up’ (technical term…🙂). Sometimes the manufacturing grease etc doesn’t help either. Just take out the but pad screws then use an extended 10mm socket to remove the stock bolt. Carefully tease off the stock. Give the action parts a damned good clean. Make sure not to leave excess oil in there - wipe on then wipe off. Put it all back together and it should (🤞) work fine. Most people think there’s a fault but usually there isn’t. The workings inside the action are simple and all the better for it, however they need to be kept clean.

Will give that a try today, thanks.
