You bet. Unfortunately Gene Sears is who I would recommend checking with for a good shot gun gunsmith and they are also out this way.Thanks!! That’s generous! Unfortunately the shoot is this coming Friday, so no time.
I cleaned it pretty well, and tried again but no luck. After playing with the action just now, there is a distinct change in the force required about 50% of the way back. About when the mag/lifter is engaged.
Maybe someone in your area will step up and loan you one.
