Dragging Firing Pin

1 Attachment(s)

I just got back from shooting my Ithaca Flues 12 gauge. Found it very hard to open. Upon inspection of the shell I found this I am guessing the firing pins are dragging on the primer. Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?

Try Remington Gun Clubs the primer is softer and should not be a problem with dragging. AH Fox guns do the same thing and switching to Remington shells normally fixes the problem.

Eldon,

I had the same problem with a 16 gauge Fox Sterlingworth and a different brand of shells took care of the problem.
