Normal functionmacdragster said:OK, The only time the action lever gets "stuck" depressed is when I pull the trigger with NOTHING in the gun-No snap caps at all.
So when you press the trigger on the snap cap the action release does not recede at all it just stays out?macdragster said:With snap caps everything is fine and it cycles like normal.
Normal function.macdragster said:Without snap caps I cycle the action(press the action lever and pull the forearm back and forth) then pull the trigger and that's when the action lock lever "stays" depressed. out .
Alright at this point you should be able to cycle the action and it will reset ...do you mean round in the chamber or mag tube?macdragster said:Now, let's say I'm in the field and lose count as to how many shots have been taken and rack the slide again thinking there's another round in the chamber. I pull the trigger and instead of bang it goes click*** .
At this point are you able to cycle the action again? We are close. At this point you should be able to cycle the action resetting the action lock.macdragster said:Cycle the action again with nothing in the magazine or chamber AND pull the trigger is when the action lock lever stays depressed with no way of resetting it..
Call them back and ask them why on page 13 of the owners manual they instruct you to dry fire it after assembly......OK glad they made you feel better.macdragster said:UPDATE, Just got off the phone with Mossberg and they don't think anything is damaged and say I should definitely NOT dry fire but put some ammo in and shoot it
