I have an XS Skeet, it dosen't always cock the hammers. I nreload and then it dosen't shoot because it isn't cocked.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Go to the Browning firearms website. Look up their phone number and give them a call. I'm guessing the trigger seers may be worn and need replaced. If I were you I'd put the shotgun in a box and ship it directly to the factory for repair. The triggers on the Citori are a little complicated and repairs should be left to the factory experts. That way you know it's getting done right. It may still be covered under the warranty so it may end up costing you nothing except shipping charges.

Ifyou send it to Browning, assuming it is not still under warranty, you may or may not like their repair, the time involved, or the costs. You might try Art's gun shop in Missouri - a former Browning factory repair person and an authorized Browning repair facility that has an excellent reputation

Make sure the top lever is all the way "left" that it will go... when you close it.
If not, it won't fire.

Wkuban,

How old is the gun? How long have you owned it? How long have you been having this problem? When was the last time you had the buttstock off and thoroughly cleaned the innards (hammer springs, cocking rods, etc) by dunking it in a tub, vat, or pan of solvent?

The Citori cocks the hammers upon opening the action. Be sure to open it all the way and also be sure the insides of the action are clean and lightly lubricated. Also be sure the screws holding the forend wood to the forend iron are snug and secure.

I'm just curious and not trying to be a smart alek but how long is Brownings warranty? I just got my 8 year old Ruger Red Label back from the factory and it didn't cost me a dime.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that Browning specifies a time limit on their warranty. Rather, they base it on coverage of "manufacturing defects" as opposed to problems cause by normal wear or abuse of the gun. Each case is judged on an individual basis.
