Hello, I have a '97 Winchester which I use to turkey hunt. The gun is in very nice condition and is a takedown model made in the 19-teens.
I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion on a problem I've encountered?
When I fire a shell and then reload, the forearm ("pump") sticks/locks solidly on the receiver until I jack the forearm ever so slightly back; then it performs fine. This isn't a feature of these shotguns, is it?
The problem makes it difficult to shoot fast followup shots when practicing and will fool you for a moment when you're concentrating on a turkey, fire it and wish to reload.
Have any of you experienced this or is it my gun?
Thank You,
