I picked up a used 1100, actually a Sportsman Auto 12, earlier this week off of GB for a decent price. I field stripped it before accepting the transfer and it looks like a fairly low mileage gun. There is very little wear on the action bar and mag tube. Date code looks to be '85 and it all checked out visually.
My problem in that it will not feed a round from the magazine. When I work the action the round pops up into the carrier, but the bolt stays locked back. If I pull the bolt back and release it goes right into battery and shoots fine. Is this a problem with the feed latch or maybe the interceptor latch? I guess I don't understand enough about the action to know what tells the gun that it is not empty.
