Paul,

What Dan/Woodcock Survey is saying about Fox's is true. The firing pins are an integral part of the hammer and not separate and do not retract after firing. They stay in place in the primer of that round that just got shot until the lever is pushed to the right and begin opening the barrels which starts to cock the hammer which pulls the firing pin back.

You can take the fore end off, remove the barrels, release the lever back to center, push the SAFE OFF and pull the triggers. The firing pins will be extended thru the standing breech and you can't push them back in with your finger. You would be pushing against the main hammer spring.

And you don't have to cock the hammers to get the barrels back on like an L C. Smith.

I suppose it's fixable but I've had this A grade for more than 50 years and have "never turned a screw" as a one time dealer in Lancaster PA used to say. And I don't think previous owners have either.

So I just shoot reloads out of this gun that have Remington primers in them.
