leigh Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 New member, hello everyone! Just bought a second hand Fausti O/U. On the selector switch there is one single dot one side and two dots on the other side. What I need to know is what it means as this is all new to me. First time back shooting in twenty years and know nothing about modern guns! All help gratefully received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambhat Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Normally one dot means it'll fire the lower barrel first, and two dots the upper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh Posted October 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Cheers mate! Had a rough idea that's what it was but it's good to have it confirmed. I'll know for sure this weekend when I take it out for the first time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack ack Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Been watching the posts for a few weeks now and eventually found a question I could answer because I've been selecting bottom barrel first all day with one dot showing and two dots covered as answered by 'lambhat'. Always safer to find out first before trying if you are not sure. I think that bottom barrel first is the norm and it is usually fitted with the more 'open' choke. e.g. 1/4 in the bottom, 1/2 in the top. I stand open to correction by the more well informed of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
