My Beretta Silver Pigeon does not close properly!
I have just bought a new Beretta Silver Pigeon, and I find it quite stiff to open and close.
Also, the top lever does not fully centralise when the gun is closed. Is this normal?

MIKE GEORGE says:
This is quite normal, and nothing to worry about.
The stiffness will disappear after a few hundred shots, as the jointing and ejector mechanism get ‘run in.’
It may take a little longer for the bolt and top lever mechanism to bed in, but eventually the top lever will centralise.
