I am not familiar with that particular model. Do you flip the bushing to switch between light and heavy loads like on the A-5 Browning and the Franchi AL 48? I like the lighter recoil on the haevy load setting but my Franchi will not eject the shell every time with the load I normally shoot. Switched it to the "light" setting and it has not hung again yet!!!!!!!!! The Franchi (made by the same Manufacturer as yours) would not fire everytime when I first bought it so I took out the action and found a "burr" had formed on the hammer mechanism. I am not a gunsmith but a couple of light strokes with a clock file did the trick! I have also seen several old A-5 humpbacks doing what you describe. On them, you can loosen the threaded cap on the feeder tube a couple of clicks and they will work flawlessly. The problem is that overtightening the cap forces the barrell down too far, which, in turn, prevents the bolt from going forward enough for the gun to fire. Just some thoughts - your may be a totally different design!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck regardless!

My Franchi AL 48 did the same thing, and I was using high brass loads. I sold it and wished the new owner the best. I'm not gonna pay $545 for a bunny gun and have problems with it.

Mike you are going to slower dogs so the rabbit wont be running it will be hopping and stopping. Just wait and it will stop to eat grass and that is when we shoot LOL It works for the rest of us!

ringtail, I'm lookin'.....I'm lookin'. Gotta handgun I'm workin' towards first. I can play with it until next rabbit season. I'm very low on guns right now. I only have the Taurus .22, the Sig Sauer .380, and a Mossberg 12 ga. (skeet barrel) with a beautiful blonde stock on it. I don't even have a deer gun right now. I sold my Mossberg with the slug barrel on it, ( it was pretty beat up from me dragging it thru the woods, but it shot well) my "turkey shoot" Winchester that was choked down to .664 (lmao - you couldn't drop a dime down in it). I sold my Remington Wingmaster, so I'm as "gun bankrupt" as I've ever been. I've held and shot an Ithaca 37 before and they are pretty nice, so we'll see...

I may end up with a .410, and just practice at being a better shot at a moving target. With a 12-ga (open sights), I can put 5 slugs in a 4-inch circle at 65 yards pretty easily. I'm not so good a shot with a handgun, lol.
