The gun has been collecting dust in the back of my safe for a while because it won't feed from the magazine and then today I felt optimistic, tried messing with it and this happened. It released the follower from the magazine and tried to feed it and the spring into the chamber ... I've never seen anything like it.
Regarding the magazine feeding problem, I've tried replacing the shell stop, polishing the claw face of the original shell stop, changing followers, magazine springs, changing lifters, nothing works. I'm at a loss for how it could fail to release shells from the magazine when loaded to 7 but it tried to feed the follower when I hit the bolt release. I'm 50/50 right on throwing it into a river/off of a mountain or sending it back to mossberg.
