Just what I meant . When I still shot competition I was big on the idea of having a gunsmith clean and check the innards of the O/U I was shooting and usually they’d suggest changing the firing pins and springs . And that wasn’t a brand thing I knew folks with Perazzi’s Krieghoff’s and Citori’s that did the clean and change parts thing each year . Not saying you needed it but if you felt it helped then it did as I still think half the clay target game is mental and if you think it helps then in a round about way it does .

My old pigeon gun, a superposed lightning with broadway trap barrels is loose as a goose
Funny you should say that about your Broadway . I bought a decent but well used Broadway 32” a couple months ago , shot it a couple rounds and snapped a firing pin So now I’ve been waiting that long to get the parts for a rebuild
