Hi has anyone out there experienced a bent lever on their Shiloh, mine is failing to detonate primers as the firing pin is hitting low ????, doug3855

Sorry to hear that. I'm going to move your post to the single-shot rifle forum to see if anyone can help.

Sounds like it got bent. Dry firing or storing with the hammer down and not at half cock? Should be a simple fix. Give them a call.

Post a query in the Support Forum at www.shilohrifle.com/forums I'd like to see what Kirk Bryan says about that.
