Beretta Xtrema 2 Won't Fire--Help!

[Radjxf]

A friend just bought a brand new Beretta Xtrema 2 shotgun.

He's ran less than a box of shells through it. Takes it out and every time he pulls the trigger, click, but no bang.

So I take the gun, tear it down and inspect everything. Nothing seems wrong. Gun is basically brand-new, but I thoroughly cleaned everything with solvent and lubed with CLP.

Hammer spring seems OK, firing pin spring feels OK, firing pin moves in and out smoothly. I did NOT disassemble the bolt as I don't want to void his warranty.

I put it all back together. Bolt drops fine, locks into the barrel extension correctly. Hammer seems to fall correctly yet will not even scratch a primer!?!?

I'm at a loss here. $1250 shotgun that runs less than a box of shells and is now non-functional? Pretty sad.

As simple as this thing is, I would think it has to be either a weak hammer spring, or broken firing pin spring.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

My idea- take it to a gun smith... OR as you said, it has a warranty, use it

were there good dents in the primers of the shells? there may be packing grease in the firing pin channel, putting alot of resistance on the firing pin/spring, making it not hit primers hard enough, get some gun scrubber/brake cleaner and spray it liberally careful with plastic of course
