Rich2933 Posted December 12 Report Share Posted December 12 Had this gun over 20 odd years. I need the space so letting her go for free as it needs some work doing. After the second shot, the barrels become hard to free. No rust etc. Comes with x4 chokes and choke key. LOP is about 14 half inches. 27" barrels. Plus fibre optic front bead. Great little pigeon hide gun. Located in Northampton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spr1985 Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 Hi rich, are you aware of what is causing the issue/ of what work it needs? I’d be interested in this as a pigeon gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
den5008 Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 I had a Rizzini E ,same problem with it after a few shots very hard to break the barrels,took it to a gun smith , something to do with the firing pins there very soft, was told only dry fire it with snap caps in .

Rich2933 Posted December 13 Author Report Share Posted December 13 Hi Not took it to get looked at as presumed the work would cost more than the gun is on trade in. If its a pin then i would guess a pin change is £40 to £50 each at a gun smith. I have changed them on a B725 before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted December 13 Report Share Posted December 13 I would have thought it's more likely to be the cocking dogs/rods or simply the hammers need oiling, if it's the firing pins you will see drag marks on the ignition cap, any of these problems are relatively easy fixes.

Dafid69 Posted December 15 Report Share Posted December 15 (edited) Had this myself in a past gun.. Most obvious one is a firing pin will have a tiny burr underneath almost like a barbed fishing hook so it doesn't retract when fired. Sticking into the cartridge primer. Do You have to break the gun over your knee to open it? If so it's likely to be that. Take off the barrels and look. If you can see the pin has a burr use a small needle file or Dremel to smooth off. Takes 10 mins. Hope this helps either you or whoever collects. Also try used cartridges with primers removed and just pull the trigger. See if it sticks. 👍👍👍👍 Edited December 15 by Dafid69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spr1985 Posted December 18 Report Share Posted December 18 A private message to cancel me coming to collect it would have been the decent thing to do don’t you think! 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
