I am having an issue with my wife's Rossi youth model single shot break action 410 shotgun. Upon firing the action is unlocking. When the recoil cycle is finished you are holding a gun with the action cracked open. It does not do it every time but better than 50% of the time. I confirmed a good solid shoulder placement still unlocks the action when fired. We were firing 2 3/4" target loads and not the 3" field loads I also have.
Anyone have any ideas what may be happening?
The engagement is a wide steel flap that is retracted to the rear to unlock the barrel. It has approx 3/8" of engagement on the notched side of the barrel. I will be pulling things apart and checking spring tension and anything else I can see. This is a new gun with less than 50 rounds through it. The first 40 rounds were flawless. At first I thought my wife was bumping the button to open the action when she cocked the gun but that is not the case.
