Iver Johnson shotgun

[tomboy]

I have just one question about iver johnson shotguns.. A friend of mine asked me if it was safe to fire the shotgun with a broken lock bolt spring ?

 

[Bake]

Why would anyone want to fire any broken weapon ? ? ?

Search E-bay. "Iver Johnson shotgun parts" Try Numrich. Talk with a local crotchety Olde Gunsmith.
There are a lot of those old shotguns.Many have gone to parts.

Why not find one,make one,or have one made? Fix it!!

Firing any broken firearm isn't safe.
A great deal depends on which IJ shotgun it is too.
Gunparts is showing a brand new Locking Bolt Spring for an IJ Champion at $13.75.

Sounds like a no-brainer to me. What does a lock bolt spring do? Just from the name sounds like it has something to do with locking the gun shut.

Firing a gun that is supposed to be locked shut and isn't is generally a BAD THING. Also to do it on purpose is more than barking STUPID!

Hope you told him something like that...
