So, my o/u became a single shot this morning...top barrel will click, but not strike the primer. Anyone know a reputable gunsmith in the temple/Belton surrounding area that will not rake me over the coals to replace it? Or, has anyone ever done this replacement?

It is an Italian made American Arms 12 gauge. If that helps -
is it broken or just gumed upComment

I was having the same problem this morning. Shooting bottom barrel first I would get a click and a slightly dented primer but no shot. I switched to top barrel first and the bottom barrel would fire on the second pull. I'm thinking the pin is just gummed up. When I got home I flooded both pins with gun cleaner and after it evaporated I squirted in some dry lube. We'll see if it helps - that is all I know to try short of taking it to a gunsmithComment

I will be attempting to clean it real well and see if that helps. I shot two rounds of skeet with it yesterday afternoon, then this morning....click. If it doesn't clean up, I'll see if I can get some help from the manufacturer. Only problem there is the American Arms were made in Spain and Italy. Italy being more desirable. Unsure if they are even around still. I've had this gun for several years.Comment

I seen the top pin shear off when the action is closed, you can remove the stock and see what is going onComment

I may break it down and look, more than likely just find a smith to look it over.Comment

Wish I could be of more help. Hope it gets fixed and inexpensively. If you were closer I'd borrow you a Wingmaster to get through the seasonComment
