It's been a long time but been thar

These combos are a favorite of many hunters. As stated before, I have never seen one that did not have a problem even though very minor. Popping or snapping the firing pin was very common and usually caused by dry firing. I can recall one time when when I heard the tip of the firing pin fly out the end of the barrel. Some gun smiths use to have a drawers full of replacement pins. i have made my own, out of and old screw driver shank. Just have to find the right diameter. On the shotgun, you should see the round tip of the firing pin, when you force it to protrude out. Again, it should be rounded. If it's still there but does not protrude, then you have a dirt problem. ....

Be Safe !!!
