Field Mishaps
If the ejector hammers should need pressing back into the fore-end, use the blunt end of a cleaning rod, wooden bench, fence or gatepost, until the hammers cock.

Use a ring cartridge extractor or drop a fishing weight of an ounce down the barrels to remove a stuck cartridge.

For travel abroad – the better the gun the more usage it will be able to withstand. Cheap guns are a poor investment. Get expert advise from your gun maker or someone in the know concerning precautions for protecting your gun in certain countries. It is also wise to locate a gun smith at the location of your travel.
