Shotgun won’t open sometimes?
Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2018 4:02 pm
Hi all I have an issue with my Winchester 5500 here in the uk, I have a problem opening the gun after firing .but the frustrating thing is not every time
it can happen two or three times in a row and then not for fifty shots I got someone else to shoot it and it got stuck on them two .
I asked a “expert” and they told me to looks the top spring but they got vague quite quick after that
anybody had this before.
my gun is old but I don’t want to retire it just yet. When it gets stuck several pushes on the top lever and a but of shaking normally does the trick.I have cleaned it out and put in new firing pins but nothing else
Any advice .?
