rossi problem
I just got a rossi 223/20 guage. the shot gun barrel shoots every time, but the 223 just goes click. just bought some remington shells today, one shot the rest just went click. it is strikeing the primer well. is there a way to adjust the hammer spring tension? tried federal, wolf, remington, and hornady, all the same.

Sounds like it could be a headspace problem and the primer isn't getting hit hard enough.

Or the hammer is hitting hard enough but not fast enough. Firing a primer takes a hard AND FAST blow and anything that could slow that hammer down will cause misfires.

When you install the 223 barrel is there any space between the barrel and frame? With the barrel off put a cartridge in the barrel , it should be flush with the back of the barrel.

problem with rossi .223, buddy has the same setup and can only shoot my reloads and hornady shells. it is a very poor design if ya ask me.

I fixed my problem today. I removed the hammer extension. now it shoots every time, even the wolf ammo. sounds dumb I know, but it worked. getting a 1" group at 100 yds with wolf 55 grain fmj.
