03milesR 6 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Hello all. I've got a o/u 12g shotgun. I've got a problem with it. When I open it, it can sometimes (more often then not) reset/close the opening lever. Also, when the gun is broken, I can physically push the level back to the closed position. I'm not pushing with any force ad usually I do it accidentally when carrying or loading then gun. Being a cack handed lefty my handed are all over the place. Has anyone ever had this problem or knows of it's solution? Would be great if I knew where to stand with it. Cheers Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 By the sounds of it, I'd suggest the spring has gone. If you remove the stock from the gun, underneath the top lever somewhere you'll see a spring, usually in a "V" shape and a leaf spring design, Could have popped out or snapped, Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 as ss says it sounds like a broken top lever spring, you can buy replacement springs from chambers but they really are an effort to fit. Quote Link to post
