Well, I'm almost on my last leg with my Stoeger M2000. 
I received it as my first semi-auto shotgun last Christmas and loved it from the start until I started having a recurring problem with failures to fire. It appears to be short stroking the primer on a variety of different loads made by different manufacturers. The primers, once ejected, have a very small dimple but nowhere near the size of a properly struck primer on a successfully fired shell. I have done a little research and have found quite a few people that have similar problems but have yet to come across a long lasting cure.
I have read that there is a firing pin spring that is common to fail, but I cannot find a replacement other than yet another spring of the same quality. Forgive me, but I'd rather not keep replacing the same part over and over.
Has anyone on INGO had the same experience with their Stoeger and, if so, what did you do to remedy the problem? If it weren't for this unacceptable failure, it would be a perfect duck gun for me but I'd rather not be stuck in the blind with a gun that won't fire. I just want to go bird hunting!
