VH 28 stuck shut.

Dean,

I do not know if the problem was fixed before moving to the 00 frame for the 28 gauge. My thought is that it was.

I had the same problem with a mint 12 ga. Parker. Some brands of new shells would work fine, some not. Some manufacturers shells had a radius between the rim and the side wall of the brass. Those would not work. I had a hard time closing the gun and opening it. Those shells that had almost a 90 degree angle between the rim and the wall would work fine. The rim recess was depend and the problem was solved.

Dean, If I remember correctly, it was on the early O frame 28 gauge guns.

Mark, I used Harry's reamer on one of my guns and another member's gun. It is a simple process, hand operated, hard to make an error. Just keep the reamer a little wet with oil to prevent rust, and all will be well. What is the serial number of the offending gun?

Dave, I have never had any trouble with my Model 12 28 gauge and its ammo, except that is the roughest working Model 12 I have ever pumped. It is an original George Ulrich engraved Pigeon Grade skeet gun, but no better pumper than a new field grade. I am confident that, with another several thousand shells, I can loosen it up.
