I just bought an escort 410 semi auto and today was the first time I shot it.
After putting three rounds thru it I picked up the empties and noticed that the fireing pin had almost gone thru the primer, and it’s not hitting centered on the primer.
This can’t be good right? What to do?
 
As long as the gun is functioning and it is not piercing the primers, keep a weather eye on your hulls and call it a day. Inexpensive gun or expensive gun might strike the primer a touch off center, not a concern at all unless extreme.
Primer cups vary in hardness, see how the indents look with a different brand of shotshell.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
