Hello all, new to the forum.
Today I got a 12ga double in trade, a Hunter arms "The Fulton." I have not fired it yet. However, when testing the extractor I had some issues. Upon breaking open the action the weight of the barrels are not quite enough to bring it down far enough to load easily, the rim of the shell gets caught on the edge of the round parts where the firing pins are housed. (Sorry don't know what they're/it's called.) You have to manually push the barrel down to get it to clear. Then when you pop it open again same deal, you gotta push down on the barrel to get enough clearance to pull out the shells. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm trying to avoid taking it to a smith if at all possible. Pretty poor at the moment.
