Hi all,
Did a lot of googling trying to find a solution to the issue i'm having. I couldn't find anything with my exact problem, but this forum seemed to have the most helpful responses with other problems people had.
Basically, I bought the shotgun from used last week and I think I bought their problem. The gun ejects and chambers shells just fine, but it will not reset the hammer. A new shell will be fully chambered with the charging handle all the way forward, but it won't fire. Initially I thought it was probably because the piston/bolt were probably dirty and that was preventing the slide from sliding back far enough. However, as you'll see from the video I recorded, when I only fire one shell, the slide will lock open. Which means it has enough force to reset the hammer, but for some reason when it is loading another round, it fails to reset the hammer.
I'm stumped. Any ideas how to fix this?
