Only constructive here's how to fix it please.
I bought this inexpensive shotgun for my 14yr old to start on. I have no interest in sinking anything more than $500 into a shotgun unless she sticks with it.
Three problems:
1. While shooting this gun and opening to reload, the gun has fallen apart in to its three pieces of forearm, barrel and receiver. No buttons pushed at all. I initially thought it was something my daughter did until it happened to me. I shot and opened the gun. The fore arm came off in my hand while the barrel fell off the receiver on to the grass. I was left holding the receiver and forearm. I re-assembled the gun and slapped the forearm hard. My daughter shot the gun and it happened again. Literally fell apart in her hands with the barrel hitting the grass.
2. The gun will not reset the trigger to fire the top barrel. While empty I can pull the trigger and hear the hammer fall on the bottom barrel and if I slap the rear of the butt I can then pull the trigger and hear the hammer fall on the top barrel. Obviously this is not how it is designed. With both barrels loaded the recoil will not reset the trigger to fire the top barrel using Federal 12ga Target Load 2 3/4, 1 1/8oz #8 shot. The recoil should reset the trigger to fire the top barrel. How do you fix this?
3. The manual safety is so stiff you almost need to stand on it to switch from safe to fire. This is the hardest safety I have seen yet and I own several guns. One of the range instructors also remarked how hard the safety on this gun is to operate. How do you fix this?
If I can resolve these problems I think she will have an excellent first gun.
