I have a 1904 grade 3 12ga Nitro barrels, DT,extractor gun. It has 32 in barrels, f/f. I did a refurbish on it last fall, stock repair and new finish w/silvers type recoil pad. I also replaced the bushings and firing pins,safety reset and the top lever spring. Gun shoots well but after firing is very hard to break open.Lever and other action parts move fine,barrels seem like they are locked. With snap caps or after it been opened it is no problem. Would the firing pins cause this? Could I have the wrong pins? Got these from Prefert gun parts ( not sure of the spelling).Thoughts? Thanks MY
