Holy crap!!!!!!
Re: Good gun safety lesson, and interesting info on the Win
Is that a problem? Just don't ever load the gun and you'll be okay.

Re: Good gun safety lesson, and interesting info on the Win
I just tried that with the girls 20ga sxp with 1oz game loads and got a pretty good dent in the primer but it didn't fire. This has me wondering if a heavy load would have enough resistance to allow the firing pin to hit just hard enough. either way, I'm iffy about the gun now. They like it but if it's not safe, they aren't using it. Period.

Saw that vid on another hunting site.
Dangerous for sure. Winchester has a problem on their hands.

Re: Good gun safety lesson, and interesting info on the Win
It would be interesting to know if that is a stock gun with no work done on it? Something is not right there for sure!

I guess that eliminates jerking the trigger. WOW!

Re: Good gun safety lesson, and interesting info on the Win
I can't figure out what would cause that. He pulled the trigger after the shot and the hammer dropped so it obviously didn't before as you have to cycle it to reset the hammer.
Re: Good gun safety lesson, and interesting info on the Win
The firing pin is floating inside the bolt. Too much I'd say. I have not pulled apart a bolt on a Winny so I don't know if it's a spring issue or what that might be.

The recall isn't for the 20s, but I'm going to have to test my 3 win pumps out.

Re: Good gun safety lesson, and interesting info on the Win
Thanks for posting this. This just illustrates why gun safety is important and if we do it, everything is fine even when something goes wrong.
Re: Good gun safety lesson, and interesting info on the Win
Looked at a diagram and it has a firing pin spring. I would bet that is the problem. Should be an easy fix
