Stoeger M2000 Firing Pin Problem

[MuzzyMan12]

I have a Stoeger M2000 semi-auto. I have had the gun for 3-4 years. I have experience some misfiring problems the past few years during duck season. The problem never happens only happens with steel shot shells never during turkey or dove season. I'll pull up to shoot and all I hear is a click. The pin makes a dimple in the primer just doesn't seem to hit hard enough to fire. It has happened with 5 different shell manufactures and 2-3 different shell types with each manufacture. Two years ago I sent the old firing pin and spring back and received a new one and it does the same thing. I'm just looking for ideas on why it's happening or what I can do to fix the problem.

Have you checked how far the firing pin protrudes through the bolt face? A little filing to let the pin protrude a little farther may be all you need to do.

i had the same issue in my 2000 and it turned out to not be the firing pin it was the bolt not shutting all the way after a manual shuck or from shooting. Next time it happens slam the bolt up and try again and see if that is intact the same problem.

that is a very known issue with the 2000's and there is not a lot you can do about it really.

same inertia system as the benelli's. google "benelli click" and start reading. you will learn all you want to know about the issue, and things you can do to prevent it.

i have a SBE2 and a Stoeger m3500 and never have had it happen with either one using any loads....however they seem to have a much more solid bolt slide then the 2000 did.
