lenny1103 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Just received a used SBE I purchased online. Gun in extremely good condition. Fired today for first time and trigger not working properly. Nothing happens when I pull trigger, then gun fires when I release trigger? Any advice. The place I bought the gun is very reputable and agreed to take it back unconditionally, but they fired the gun before sending and said it worked flawlessly. any suggestions? thanks!

M1014 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 intresting,hmmm,after it fired,,did the weapon cycle or did the trigger still act up??,,what type of ammo are you using??,,,,was it loadded with only one shell??,maybe the trigger group needs a cleanin or a part replacement or both,please do tell more.

hattles Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 ...perhaps a thorough cleaning of the trigger/hammer assembly along with proper oiling would cure the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenny1103 Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 i had 3 shells in the gun and it cycled properly once fired, but wouldnt fire until I released the trigger each time. i completely disassembled the trigger mechanism and there was no dirt or debris. All parts seemed to be in good condition and springs looked good. I'm totally stumped? when I pull the trigger the catching mechanism (on top and towards stock) holds onto the hammer, then when I release the trigger, that mechanism releases the hammer and it fires. ?????????

GoBow Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Don't know if this applies to your SBE, but there are triggers known as "release triggers" that sporting clays/trap shooters will have installed in their guns. Pulling the trigger will set the trigger; releasing it will fire. Supposed to help overcome jerking the trigger... It would be the first time I ever heard of one of these on an SBE, but ya never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
