Bought one late 2004 intended forspare gun, never used it until 4 weeks ago bacause my rifle was under maintenance. The firing pin failed having a deer 300 feet aprox. Took it back to store (retailers guarantee worked fine). The pin was replacedand ready for test this week. Looked at internet and found several users complaining about same problem. Also, same users admitting after replacement no more problems. Problem due to manufacturing mistake using pin from IZH-27 O/U which is slightly larger.

Also have IZH27 O/U since 2002, never had any single problem.

After Remington took them under spartan brand price raised 40% aprox.
