hutchies Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 When cycling the gun it doesn't want to release a shell out of the magazine. I'm thinking maybe the 2 forks that hold the shell in the magazine need to be replaced. Anyone else had any experience with this? BTW-I'm cycling 2 3/4" and 3". I've tryed cycling it hard and tried cycling it easier and there is no consistant pattern to the sticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Here is what I think the problem is................... Cartridge stop http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=161655 Or Cartridge interceptor http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=631606 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 It shouldnt be to expensive to have it fixed. I took my Charles Daly in and had the opposite problem fixed. Mine would release the shells when I shot and it would jam. I just got it back about two weeks ago (gunshop had it for about a week). It ran $15 to fix the problem. At that price I will just drop off my guns and have them repaired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Wish we had a local gunsmith. On the upside I tore it back down last night after looking the schematics over and found the problem. The forearm slide rail and the cartridge stop had at a bur on them and were catching instead of the stop going behind to release the shell. I took a superfine file to it and worked it out. Works like a charm now but I am going to go ahead and order the parts. A total of $31. Only reason I filed it was because the slide rail is on 30 day backorder.

Jeramie Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 At least you figured it out... Too bad your a long drive away. The best gun smith around is over by the house and he is cheap too. My old .30-30 had loading problems. He charged me $20 to rebuild part of it. It works like new.

strutstopper Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Hey man,If the guns max load is 3 1/2,i had same problem the shorter shells get jammed easier and there no real way to fix it unless you get replacement parts if that makes sense?

hutchies Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Actually the parts haven't came in but just filing it down has gave me 3 weekends of hunting so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
