DO NOT BUY A TRADITIONS PURSUIT NW Its just like what your talking about, break action with the top cut out my buddy bought one and we took it out, traditions failed to mention that after shooting several times the firing pin gets all gumed up if you dont use the 209 ign well it causes the firing pin to stick out just enough to hit the cap and fire off when closing the action with that said traditions would do nothing for him lucky for us he was pointed in a safe direction
