Bailey Creek,5759 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 At the local shoot Sunday the 10th of April. A shooter picked up his Shotgun to shoot it. It wouldn't open enough to put shells in. He borrower a shotgun for rest of match. He called me late afternoon. Said that Stainless Steel pin was in it. The kind you clean your Brass with. Somehow a pin made its way into the shotgun and locked it up. If you use them might want to watch them. They do seem to show up everywhere.

Sedalia Dave Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Lead shot mashed flat in an action is also a bugger to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowtown Scout, SASS #53540 L Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I have even seen lead splatter get in a sxs shotgun and prevent it from closing completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dane, SASS#5536 Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 Worst one I saw-shooter had 1887 staged on left side, ejected 44WCF brass went right into it-found out when he picked up to shoot that the shotgun had serious objections to it.

I've always wondered about that with folks who shoot 97's. Lots of them put their 97 down with the port up and shoot their rifle over top of it. I haven't seen a shell tie up a 97 yet but I expect to some day. Long live hammered doubles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think about this everytime I stage my 97 wondering when it will happen to me. Hasn't yet, but I'm watching for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie had a 38 fall into hers. Pretty mangled and a pain to remove. Now she stages it port down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Snorter Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Never having been a speed demon, my first thought would be to lay a weighted bandana or piece of leather over the port. Simple enough to brush it off or let it fall when picking up the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
