Hi,
I have had my 930 SPX a little over a year and up until now it has performed flawlessly. However recently it began having trouble cycling shells properly so I have tried a few things : Different ammo : LE 132 2 3/4"low recoil tactical 00 buck, Winchester full load 3 " 1 buck, Olin 2 3/4"Mil 00 buck, and various bird loads. The performance or lack of is the same no matter what ammo so I am guessing it is not the ammo. Here is what it does and what I have done in somewhat random order of typing... Won’t eject shell(sporadic) or load new(after firing 1st rd) from magazine.Rarely it does eject but then the new shell from the mag is hung up on the elevator, not in the tube. Or, If loaded, often doesn’t fire due to bolt not being fully forward after 1st rd fired. So bolt appears to be hanging somewhere . If I push the bolt forward manually it will not fire even though the cocking indicator shows it is ready to fire(yes the safety is off...  )
Can manually eject and reload directly into tube from the magazine. Disassembled/reassembeled twice, inspecting everything carefully,no obstructions or damage visible. After firing one round, elevator (plate to depress for loading into mag) is hanging somewhere not visible so shells cannot be loaded into mag. Possible trouble is in trigger mech with elevator attached to it ? I have not disassembled the trigger mech. Why would bolt not close all the way ?? I think it has a 2 yr warranty so I will look into that but would rather not deal with the hassles of shipping etc. If you can think of anything I should try(polite please.... ) would appreciate any suggestions. Or if you know
of any similar issues with this model please let me know. By the way, I have kept the shotgun clean so there isn't gunk built up anywhere. It has around 600-700 rounds through it. Thanks, Gary in OR |
