I bought a Mossberg 715T at a local Rural King. When I got it home I followed the maintenance suggestions I found on the Internet. I cleaned it and oiled it before attempting to fire it. I also bought other accessories for the weapon, including a 40X scope and a 10-round magazine. The rifle came with a 25 round magazine, but after reading the comments on the web I bought a 10-round one in an attempt to avoid problems. This rifle never worked as a semi-auto, had to pull back the lever every time I wanted to eject the empty and load another round. After firing eight shots with this rifle it jammed up, the lever jammed back in the open position and would not move. The Internet said to lightly pull back on the lever and at the same time pull back the trigger--did not work. I attempted to return the weapon to Rural King but the manager there said their license did not allow them to take back used weapons. One of their technicians inspected the rifle, got it unjammed, but when he fired it again, it jammed back up. Rural King sent the rifle back to Mossberg for repairs. Who knows how long that will take, or if they will be able to solve the problem. This was supposed to be a Christmas present, the way things are going, maybe next year!
