GH: trouble opening after firing, your help is requested
I own an 1895 GH model that has difficulty opening on occasion. I have only used it with Winchester loads with a steel base. The gun will work flawlessly for 20 rounds or so, then I am unable to open the gun easily. I assumed a firing pins was still in the primer of a shell because the gun would not budge but a 64th of an inch or so, but I am not sure. I am able to open it after gently bumping the butt on a rubber pad on the ground.
Is this a problem with ammunition, brass vs steel, or is this a problem with a sear spring or other internal issue?
Thank you fellow patriots!
Matt
