Stoeger condor firing pin stick?

[ironcowboy]

Well, i got a nice looking stoeger condor o/u yesterday in a trade. It came with both 12ga and 20ga barrels...
I only had a chance to fire two shots from it, and both went bang, so thats good.
But right after getting it, i dry fired it once, and then went to brake the gun open, low and behold the firing pin on the lower barrel was stuck out and would only let the gun brake open a part of the way. I used a little screw driver to push the pin back in, and then the gun opened up fine. I only had that issue with a dry fire, when using live loads, or snap caps it does not stick out...
Anyone have any idea what i should do here? Other then that its a very sharp gun.

I shoot a Condor Supreme for trap. One thing I have noticed with Stoeger they need a good cleaning right from the box the factory lube gets real tacky after it sets a while. Then about every 700 rounds it needs a good cleaning. By this I mean take the stock off and clean the insides and lube it up good. You should be good to go after that.

Ok sounds good, i'll give that a try. Any tips on taking the stock off? There are no springs that are going to jump out and grab me by the throat are there? haha

Take the but plate off use a LONG screw driverand the screw should come out. The fit of the wood maybe tight so take it easy coming off, aside from that there should be know problem.

Your not meant to dry fire without snap caps or some other device, I see that heaps. Snapped pins, Bent pins, burr's you name it.........

Ok, thanks guys. Yea i keep two spent shells in for dry firing so as not to damage anything.
