The one we had even if you fire with barrel open when you shut it that would reset the firing pin. You take the stock off you can see everything in it. You can play with it and see what is going on maybe. Sad thing that is one of the best guns for the money as in material it is build out of (hardest barrel we have threaded). Now that said you not the only one that has had problem getting a hold of them. Try it few times with out a shell see if you can make it do it. Then I would like to know if it does it with all shells. I know of one that would fire any off the shelf dove load but would fire 1 out of 10 hand loads. One thing you can do also it get a few hulls if you have someone around that loads and just put primer in them to see if it is something with just the shell being in.

The first time it went off it was with an Apex load and I've used winchesters and federal 6 and 8 shot too. They all go off.

They all go off.The gun is designed to cock on open and close. If the barrel block isn't pushing the cocking lever far enough to cock it when you close the gun, there's something wrong with that particular gun. The design is sound. Academy would send it to Briley for repair. Whether they'll warranty a modified gun or not I don't know. They might argue since the barrel was removed for threading something might have got out of alignment.
