Win. 1300 problem

[SuperDave]

Just got home from Wally World with a 1300 ( the guy in front of me bought the last Wingmaster ) I plan to use for Dove season .
Put 2 rds. in the tube , racked the slide and a round hits me in the midsection . Looks like the "lifter thingy" is staying up to long inabling a round to be shucked out the tube while chambering a round .
WHY is this happening ?
What needs to be done to fix this problem?
Why didn't I buy Remmie ?

Wally World will probably replace it, but first cycle that action a hundred times or so. Ensure it's empty, sit down and pump it until your arms tire. Swap arms and try it again.

Sometimes new repeaters, regardless of make or reputation, will be a little rough until they work in a bit.

If this doesn't work, exercise your warranty rights and get a another one, or an 870....

The "manager" said they have a no return policy on firearms , but would send it off for me ..

SuperDave,
My new 1300 is in the box waiting to go to winchester because of double feeding. I have seen alot posted on problems with the 1300 I will probably get this one fixed then get rid of it and get another 870.

good luck with yours,
Mike

Note to self: Try different ammo in gun before you start whining...........

I never even thought about ammo .
Federal shucked out , Remington run fine . Wish they were all this easy..........Thanks
