I bought this used a few years ago and just stored it away. So I get it out yesterday to loan to the SiL for his pheasant hunt. I was showing him how to operate it and found out first that I could not push a shell into the magazine. I took the forearm and barrel off and realized this isn't as simple as my 1100 is. I did push down on the mag spring from the top and it seemed to be operating okay. Put it back together and shell could go in now, but there is a metal part on the right side inside the receiver and it appears to be sticking toward the middle more than it should. It absolutely shreds the side of the plastic hull they go in and out. So I guess I will be taking it to a local gunsmith to see what he can do.
