I purchased my condor last year, i have ran about 2000 shots through it so far and my only problem has been the breech not fully opening when loading or reloading.

It seems to stick just before full open and makes it difficult to reload, any suggestions on lube or mods from someone who fixed this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Right out of the box this has been a good shooting and dependable gun, though i wouldnt recomend this gun for competion shooting i think it is well suited to a fun weekend of trap or hunting.

My real complaint is about the salesman who sold me the gun didnt tell me about the condor combo.

More than likely it is just new and stiff, and the tolerances are tight. Needs to break in.

Make sure you regularly clean and grease the pivot points (between the receiver and the barrel set), on the face of the receiver where the forearm mates up, and on the forearm extension (the little metal extension that sticks out of the forearm and fits into the receiver...this is what resets the hammers when you open the action.)

Use a good quality grease, STOS, Mobil-1 oil, or whatever, but keep those sliding surfaces clean and lubricated.

My son had that same problem with his but we never fixed it cause his gun had other problems and we ended up sending it back.

Sorry not to help but felt your pain anyway.
