A little ironic that we have two 1100 problem threads right next to each other. My problem is a little different, though. Anyways, I have an 1100 here that just will not feed the next shell.
The latch assembly for the bolt is hanging up it seems. Here is what's happening. When a new round feeds from the tube, of course it is supposed to slam into the lever that the rim hits, and cause the latch to drop which closes the bolt. Instead, the latch lever seems to be too stiff for the following round to activate it. So it fires once, and then the bolt locks open with a new round sitting there, and I have to push the bolt release button.
The lever seems to be lubed up ok, it's like it just locks too well; it requires a bit of a push to unlatch the bolt, and I assume it should be light. Everything is near spotless on the gun. I thought the rounds needed to feed with more force from the tube, so I removed the tube spring and stretched it out so it is much stiffer, but this didn't seem to do a thing.
Anyone have any suggestions or have this happen before?
Thanks.
