Gots a question for you Trade gun shooters
As I recently posted I beveled the entrance to the vent hole on my trade gun which sped up the ignition time to that of many single shot cartridge guns, but I have noticed another problem. After a half dozen shots or so I start getting flashes in the pan but no boom, or if there is a boom it is delayed. I thought it was a plugged vent but that was not the case I picked the vent, reprimed it again and only a flash. On the third try it went boom. It has done this a few times when hunting, and several squirrels have escaped. I have a breach scraper and though maybe the breach plug was dirty but that wasn't the case. I am thinking about taking a small brush with me and after a couple of shots brushing out the pan and area around the vent to see if this helps. Any other suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Joe
