I carried and shot this gun yesterday, a Ugartechea 12, no problem yesterday. Shooting Kent Bismuth.
Went back to the truck, grabbed the 16 Sterlingworth an Boss Bismuth, later missed a bird that got up in back of me. At the end of the day, cutting thru cattails on the way to the truck, a rooster got up fight in front of me, easey-peasey, front trigger and click, light strike on the primer, missed when I finally grabbed the back trigger.
Very frustrated, back at the truck ran shells thru both and worked just fine. I'll be gun shy tomorrow when birds get up.
(No, I haven't sprayed oil in the firing pin holes, or trigger slots. But will spray a degreaser/gun scrubber thru them when I get home--tomorrow is last day.

You need some Gun 21 Harold. Made for AR rifles, goes on wet and dries with no residue and makes everything slick and protected from rust and will not stain the wood stocks like grease or oil! It is truly amazing stuff. I know because I sell it and get the real-world reports back of how good it is! No one has said nothing but good things on its performance and makes the bores shin like super polish then nothing sticks to them. My original test was on a 410 that was really hard to clean after 100 rounds, now that guns cleans so easy. I will fix you up with a test bottle next time I see you...(-:

Thanks for the tip, Kenny.
Headed home as I type this Terry driving.
Good last day, moved sh*t load of birds. No misfires today. Shot a staggered double with the Fox 16, and on the final hunt picked up my 3rd on the best shot all week.
Dogs are beat, high grass and cattails more in the domain of labs than setters. Looks like great week ahead for those going out. Good luck and post pictures.
