I took my Merkel 96 (one of the new ones with the combination safety/barrel selector and striker-fire rifle barrel) out to shoot yesterday, and was getting light primer strikes resulting in failures to fire on the rifle barrel and left shotgun barrel. I suspect that the action just needs a good cleaning and lubrication. Do you guys have a recommendation for a gunsmith who knows Merkel drillings?

I can recommend J J Peradeau and PISCO (Ken Brooks). I've had work done by both. Good work by both. They are in demand, so it will take some time.

If it is a new gun, why don't you send it back to Merkel?

They have Ferlach or Suhl gunsmiths that work at the headquarters here in America.
