Just bought a like new IGA Coachgun in 12 ga from a fellow CGN member. Took it out this weekend to practice for CAS and found that I couldn't hit anything with the left barrel. Sighted it at 20 yards and realized that the right barrel (I/C) is dead on, but the left barrel (M) is shooting 16" high and 12" to the left!! Move farther away, and the problem gets worse - the barrel is actually aiming to the left, not converging with the right barrel.
I have spoken to 2 gunsmiths and they both tell me that the cost of repairs is more than the gun is worth. I could bore out that one choke to CYL, but that would only make the pattern reach my point of aim. It will not necessarily put enough pellets into the POA to do the job.
Does anyone have any suggestions? To his credit, the seller has offered to take the gun back, but that does not solve the problem, it only transfers the issue back to him. I truly believe that he did not know about this issue prior to selling the gun.
Help if you have any thoughts. Thanks.
