Thanks Dean, I just fired some snap caps and opened the gun to see if the pins were hanging on the extractor. The tumblers did their job and retracted the firing pins all the way back into the frame so there is no contact with the extractor and all appears normal.
Right after I got this gun Brian Dudley did an ultrasonic cleaning and I wonder if that cleaning resolved the problem of the pins not retracting back into the frame. This restocked 16ga O frame is a wonderful little gun and the only work I'm planning to have done is to have the damascus barrels refinished.
