What is the best technique to use for cleaning firing pins on a double? Mine are sometimes not retracting after being dropped on snap caps. _______________________________________________________ Hunt Report - South Africa 2022 Wade Abadie - Wild Shot Photography Website | Facebook | Instagram | ||

ES: If exposed hammers or bushed strikers, the pins are easily removable and the holes can be cleaned. If not, I have used a blast of compressed air, from the breech face, of course, and it has dislodged contaminants. Otherwise, a visit to the nearest competent gunsmith is in order.

Your snap caps may be the problem, do they stick when you shoot real ammo? Ken DRSS, PP Chapter Life NRA Life SCI Life DSC | |||

Brownells sells the tool to remove the pins. Call Butch and he will point you in the correct direction. This is an easy process if you have the tool.

Wade if you are concerned about the rifle action not being clean you need to seek the services of a gunsmith schooled in double rifles maintenance. I recommend JJ Parodeax at Champlain or Dustin Mounts near Houston. Nothing like getting your double service by some one who knows how. Rusty We Band of Brothers!
