Good advise on getting the gun checked out above.
But this to me raises an interesting point. Maybe I should start a new thread to address this. Most of us are using shotguns that are pushing the century mark if not past it. It is my understanding that,in Great Britian for example,shotguns were routinely sent to a gunsmith for maintenance between hunting seasons. I suspect that many of ours have never been disassembled for an inspection and a complete cleaning. At what point in time should this be done and to what extent is it required? I for one am interested in other members opinions on this subject.
