Default Isses with my SBT

Took the gun to the club yesterday and shot a couple of rounds or trap. Carried it in a take down case as I always do. Today I started to clean it up and put it away, and I can't get the forend on. It just feels like things aren't coming together right, and obviously I don't want to force anything. Sadly I haven't paid much attention to what is supposed to be where relative to putting it on; maybe this is silly but I thought maybe if I showed a pic of the forend someone could tell me if something's not where it's supposed to be?



The next issue is a crack I noticed in the forend. Pic shown; the crack is above the peak in the checkering; the mark below the peak appears to be a grain line. Is this somethig serious and should I get it taken care of before shooting it again?

That's the fix. Ejector guns can be funny like that. I believe it happens when you remove the forend without re cocking the gun before you remove it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Mike, You need to cock the ejector as previously stated. Also the crack in the forend is very common on single traps. In fact its the first thing I look for when inspecting one of these great guns.

Um, hate to be so dumb, but what is the lever I should push back? Is it that divided part just aft of the square cut away at the front?

Yes, those are the ejector hammers. Push both of them down with something like a wooded stick, They should lock in the down position., If they don't stay down, you have a problem.

I don't think it's serious but, it's not going to get any better. If, it were mine I would have it fixed.

There is also a combination sear that has two positions on the hammer.
Now that your forend is back on, double check it for proper operation. Open the gun, close it and then remove the forend. The hammer should stay cocked on the ejector mechanism. Then reinstall it and dry fire the gun and then open it to test ejector function and then remove again. Ejector should re cock and stay back.

If at any time the ejector un cocks when removing the forend, you have a broken tooth on the combination sear.

Thanks Brian. Went through the regime you outlined and everything seems to be working correctly.
