For my 16th birthday (12 yrs ago) my dad bought me my first "real" gun (i.e. non-BB gun). It's a 12 guage shotgun made by CBC in Brazil, imported by FIE.
This is a break-action gun. The problem is, the barrel is breaking open (albiet by just a little) upon firing normal trap loads. I don't remember it doing this when I first got it and it makes me a bit nervous to shoot it.
Is it supposed to be doing this?
Only thing I can think of that might have screwed it up was that I used to get my friends to shoot deer slugs out of it. (light weight gun and heavy slug makes for good kick and plenty of reaction from friend)
What can I do to fix it? or should I never fire it again?
There's nothing obviously wrong with the release mechnism upon visual inspection.
