I was thinking the same thing; old fired shells, or maybe snap caps? My Fox Sterlingworth 16 locked up on me on a recent South Dakota trip; the strikers in the snap caps were too low and the firing pins were hung up. Fortunately it was my back up gun and I didn't need it. Got it open later and raised the strikers. But actually, I'm thinking the "gummed up" thing is the most obvious problem.
