I just bought a Verona 12 Ga O/U. I was impressed with the fit/finish and it swings very well. Tested it at the trap range on Friday. I was tearing it up when 1/2 to 3/4 through the round, the second barrel wouldn't fire. The trigger was not resetting and it didn't matter which barrel I selected first. The second shot wouldn't go. I noticed the trigger was not getting set for the second shot. The gunsmith at the range said that some O/Us reset the trigger by recoil. He gave me some hotter loads to try in it. Didn't help. Smacked the butt of the gun with my hand and tried to fire it, no dice. I unloaded both barrels, and dry fired it. After the first firing pin clicked, I smacked the butt of the gun on the ground, only then did the second firing pin fire. Definitely more impact was required than you would experience with recoil. Does the Verona set the second firing pin from the recoil of the first shot?
I returned the gun to Dicks Sporting Goods where I purchased it, and they were awesome! They took the gun back and will replace it with a new one as soon as they get one. They said it was the first Verona they had a customer return. They did have another one there that they had received with a cracked forend stock. We dry fired it, both firing pins fired. We tried to swap forend stocks, but mine was apparently shorter so when you cracked the gun open, it was VERY loose.
Thanks for any suggestions!
