    Light primer strikes, should I be concerned?

    I have had 2 light primer strikes on my Maverick 88 in the last ~200 shots fired. Those occurred on my last two outings. Should I be concerned about these light primer strikes? I use my Maverick 88 exclusively for trap shooting. Thanks.

    Clean the firing pin canal and make sure your barrel is on tight.

      You're not shooting enough if you only do 100/outing.
      A good cleaning may help. Changing ammo brands may also help - some primers are harder than others.
      It could also be a weak spring, but I am not familiar with your gun.
      Two mis-strikes out of 200 is a lot.

        4 rounds of trap or skeet in a day isn't bad.
