Hello,

i own a older (70ies) SxS shotgun named and sold by Kettner in Germany!
I guess it was made in Spain!

I lately cleaned it and reassembled it! I noticed a little play in the barrels/action!
But only side to side , not up and down!

I read somewere to put a piece of paper between the breech face and the barrels! I did so and could not pull it out without rip the paper in pieces!

Can someone tell me how bad this is! Maybe it is normal on older SxS or not a problem!
How can this ,if it is a problem be fixed!

I don´t think the gun is worth much so a expensive rebuild is not the way to go!

Thanks so far

Regards

David from Germany
