Winchester .410 shells. Were not the problem

[skneub]

Seems my 410 is fireing first time sometimes and going click more than i care to say.....when im trying to shoot grouse
If i recock it ..yesterday i had to pull trigger 3 times and the third it fired.



It was the gun, not the ammo.
Problem is fixed , there was a loose part where the fireing pin protrudes

I would say your firing pin isn't hitting it hard enough.

 

[antiqueguy]

most likely the firing pin id hope

 

[skneub]

Thats what i was thinking , but i wasent sure...its bugging me a lot.
Think im gonna tear it apart tonight and have a look see

I've never had a misfire with winchester 410. My guess is the fp. How old is your shotgun? If its not old, then the pin might be dirty.

 

[skneub]

yea ,guns 2 years old.
never wet but not babyed ither

Well that was easy ...theres a small round screw in part where the fireing pin comes out, it had loosened slightly and moved forward.
Preventing the fireing pin from hitting as deep as it should .
I have not tryed it out yet, but will tomorow and im 99% sure it was the issue, Not the ammo
