I think that is from where I have pointed out in my post, I had the same marks on some of my cases and I noticed that the cases were digging into the edges on those little ramp pieces.Chewed up Brass
Not sure if this is a problem or not, but after feeding some cartridges through my gun, I noticed the base is all dinged up. Should I worry or no? This gun is not brand new, though it hasn't had many rounds through it, if the previous owner is to be believed. Attaching a picture of one of the cartridges. Note that all I did was put this in the magazine, fed from there into the chamber and then ejected it without firing - my wife gets grumpy about shooting guns inside the house.
Addenda:
1. I sent Mossberg customer service this question a minute ago, along with the picture. I'll let y'all know what they say.
2. They got right back to me... and asked for the serial number, lol. Sent them that to move forward.
Definitely going to take a look at this! I also rounded the edge of the ejector hook, as that seemed to be a hangup place. WOndering if I combine the two if I might be able to get this thing close to 100%!I think that is from where I have pointed out in my post, I had the same marks on some of my cases and I noticed that the cases were digging into the edges on those little ramp pieces.
Might be worth a look when you cycle it.

I had failure to feed problems with every kind of ammo. Is that what is happening with yours? The plastic magazine follower needed polishing and the tube had to be cleaned. Worked well after that but be careful with the follower. Being plastic, it isn't all that robust. Metal followers are available in the U. S. A.I just bought a Mossberg 464 Lever Action Brush gun, along with some Hornady Leverolution(sp? lol). However, the Hornady hung up on the second round. I've had lever action rifles before so I am familiar with them and how to use them. It happened with about 14 of the 20 shells I fired. Has anyone else had this problem? What type of ammo have you used that cycle fairly well? I do deer hunt and most shots will be less than a 100 yards here in South Alabama. Thanks----

One of my 464 threads shows me adjusting the spring perch for a harder strike. The spring sits on a stamped steel perch or toggle that holds it between the hammer and frame. Just take off the buttstock and you'll see it immediately.

You can only adjust it a little as you''ll affect the rebounding hammer.
