Ok, I am lost as to what can be the problem here. I have done the obvious, inspect and clean. But cant fins a reason as to why my Franchi Alcione 12ga is firing both barrels. Could it have been the weather or the ammo? We went over to Etowah valley yesterday for a Pheasant shoot. It was sleeting and cold. Not sure if water got down in receiver and froze maybe? But the recoil should have broke that up right? I have had the gun for over 12 years. Never had an issue with a ton of rounds through it. Cleaned after ever shoot etc. I had some new ammo that my dad took. Never used it before. Two boxes of shells and it did it four times! Not all back to back. One time it was a bit delayed, you heard both fire separately. But three times it rocked me hard and let me have both with one large, loud BOOM! It scared the guide beside me, he thought it blew a barrel. He thought it might be the way that I was bringing the gun up to my shoulder, called it fan something or another. But it also did it one time while i had it mounted in ready position. It is a single trigger with selector. If I cant find an issue i plan to take it over to a gunsmith. But i am not sure of one in the Habersham county area that does that type of work. A recommendation would be good as well if you know one close. Looking for opinions as well.
Thanks,
Matt
