I have a nef 20 ga single shot which is not firing. No firing pin mark on rounds after firing. A little background...
I got this on a trade and while the gun did work when I got it, the trigger was nearly seized and required a god awful amount of pressure to pull it. I lubed up everything and dry fired a good deal of times (I am thinking this was not such a good idea now...) and the trigger became much more reasonable. I took the gun out to the field to shoot and nothing. No firing pin mark on casings. Tried several. Did my dry firing destroy the firing pin? Is it a bad idea to dry fire these single action firearms?
