Old Mossy Horns
I bought the gun about 10 years ago, new. Since then I've carried it almost everywhere I hunt, and taken everything from quail to deer with it.
More notably though, I did shoot a good two years of trap league with it and a few hunting seasons where it got a lot of use and every year its had at least a solid week of good hunting and shooting, some years a lot more. The last couple years, no matter how well I clean it, I get a few more failure to cycles, and I'm noticing a few more failure-to-fires, where the primer is dented but the shell doesn't fire. At first I chalked it up to crummy ammo...
But I'm wondering...Is it time to replace the recoil spring, firing pin, and maybe the trigger springs?
