Won't open after firing 410 shell
My grandson's Rossi single shot 410 is stuck closed after firing a round of factory ammunition.
Any advice from you guys on how to open it?

Make sure the "keyed" lock on the hammer is completely unlocked. Trying opening on both positions of the safety. Kind of grasping at straws here.bluesman423 wrote:My grandson's Rossi single shot 410 is stuck closed after firing a round of factory ammunition.

My 223 had a ruptured primer. The firing pin was stuck in the hole in the primer. I don't remember how I got it loose. That stopped the action from breaking open.

My 22-250 has to have the safety on and hammer at half cock to open after firing, a real pain.

Boy they really lawyered up on that piece when they made it. My sympathy. Can you remove some of that operation.ksmoose wrote:My 22-250 has to have the safety on and hammer at half cock to open after firing, a real pain.

My Rossi 410 , a Tuffy but now a full shotgun, will top break with the hammer down or half cocked and the safety in any position.

I am looking at disabling the safety, but will wait to not void warranty.

Re: Won't open after firing 410 shell
I just double checked and the safety has to be engaged after firing, this puts the hammer at half cock or lifts it off the transfer bar. It will open with safety in any position until fired. I am not sure if this is the way it should be or not but works fine other than that.

Re: Won't open after firing 410 shell
Thanks for your help guys .................... there was a metal piece that was probably left over from manufacturing loose inside ................ it came out when I took off the trigger guard.
