Khan Arthemis 12 bore O/U

I bought this shotgun new and have fired about 1500 shots. The lower firing pin broke and the manufacturers just referred me to a gunsmith. The problem seems to be that the pin protrudes after firing and is then broken by the opening or closing barrels.

Does anyone own a similar gun and have you had any or a similar problem.

The gun has nice walnut and looks neat. It also handles well and has single trigger with barrel selection on the safety. Extractors work well and it has interchangeable chokes. Fit and finish are reasonable.

Gunsmith says that the innards seem to be well fitted and appear functional.

I just had the same problem with mine. The only diffrance is that I broke both of mine at the same time. It seems to me there is a problem with these guns !!!!!

Hey gents. Bringing back the dead here, but I was just wondering if the OP had any success in solving the issue with the firing pin.

I've been looking around for a shottie and have found the Khan Arms A-Tac going for a pretty good price (R4500). Interested to know if this is an isolated issue or a problem with the brand in general.
