I must apologize about not posting in awhile, but I’ve been battling ongoing back issues. I’m finally back in the shop pretty much full time now, so work is getting done.

Here is a very nice Perazzi MX 2005 trap in 12 gauge. The shotgun came in with the complaint of not firing on the bottom barrel. The customer just inherited this and is an avid Trap and Perazzi shooter. While it was here he had me clean and do a partial rebuild on it. The shotgun also has release triggers and I serviced them as well.

The culprit turns out to be a very worn bottom barrel firing pin. The replacement parts I use are Giuliani after market parts, because I believe they are superior to factory parts. Most of the springs were replaced as well and the leaf style hammer springs were replaced with their universal springs. I’m a stickler on fit and finish and was not happy with the trigger break on the double releases, so I addressed that issue as well.

The shotgun was test fired for reliability and safety

The gunsmith is back in the shop working and going slow, but hopefully at full speed in a couple of weeks.

The shop will be by appointment only through the rest of the week due to me healing from ongoing back issues. I’m still working on shotguns, but at a limited pace due to my pain levels.

Hopefully soon I will be back to my old self and my normal pace of work. Thank you all for your understanding while I work through this minor bump in the road.

The shop had a Browning Browning B25 Superposed in that had the whole inertia system rebuilt. The shotgun was not switching from the bottom barrel to the top barrel when fired and I could not see anything that was preventing this. The only thing not replaced was the trigger, so I replaced this and it only worked intermittently. When I would bump the gun on the bench it would switch. I sat there for about 5 minutes thinking about it, then it came to me. The customer installed a 7 inch mercury recoil reducer in the stock. The new parts and tight tolerance of the parts along with the recoil device was in theory dampening the inertia. I removed the reducer then went and test fired it, sure enough my theory was correct. The shotgun functioned flawlessly after the devices removal. The customer is going to try a smaller device and see if that will work without damping the inertia to the point where it affects functionality.
