Thanks: No problem with 870s!, But still got to repair the Nova. Torn down the trigger assy twice. Suggestion to file down Bolt stop by .020 (lower end) has not seemed to help; no "wear" marks on receiver, etc. So, still addressing...………

Gents/Ladies, Does anyone have suggestions on curing the carrier from sticking up and thus dropping the shell from the magazine on ground ? (12 ga) Thanks,

Interesting: My info says 1) this is a "1903" Not a "1903A3". (note: folding rear sight there ??) Serial number is correct for 6 digits, however any serial number below 800,000 did not get the "Dual Heat treat" and is subject to bursting if fired. i.e. not safe! (would not...

Looking for a Rossi Squire 20 ga foreend iron. Wood does not matter. Thanks, Oneeyejd

Gents: Thanks for inputs! For brevity, I did not go into the "other things" but to get a good history oF problem, here goes. (all parts mentioned have been stoned and polished and entire assembly Dynkim checked for rubs/clearances) Ejector is slick and smooth; Firing pins tips is round and...

When shooting the UPPER barrel, the action "Jams" and is difficult to open. Lever lock is fine, smooth; the fired shell shows "some" small firing pin drag marks in primer. Have polished firing pins, etc and they are smooth and free. Action does NOT jam when snapping on empty chamber; either...

To "All", Thanks for all inputs so far. Tried/inspected all suggestions with no luck YET. I will solve this (sooner or later):cuss:.! And will post to hopefully help anyone else if problem encountered. There are lots of Firestars out there and generally a decent gun. Still open to any more...

Thanks for comments.:: Nothing different from "Factory". no add ons.

Thanks ! Have tried all of the suggestions with no success. Now dychecking all components throughout the operation and looking for signs of interference ,etc. No luck yet. Still jams at rear position. Barrel free, hammer free, ejector not touched, w/mags in or out the same.

Thanks, will check spring: But it cycles a full magazine with closing when worked by hand and released.:cuss:

Folks, I am good gunsmith, but this has me stimmed: When gun is worked manually, it functions perfectly. However when FIRED, the slide jams rearward. (rear of slide is 2.0" behind the disassembly mark on left side.) The slide can not be pushed forward by hand. Tapping with mallet can move...

Looking for a source for Chinese SKS parts--any suggestions Thanks,:)

What happened to Steve's Gun Manual site ?? Checked this week and it says "can't download......" Anyone know ?? OR: know of good source for systematics ?

Have followed all the "Rules" but the slide will not come off frame after slide stop is pulled out. (As if the Ejector was not pushed down as required). Any one else have this problem with disassembly ???:banghead: Thanks, Jack

May I add to "story": Have the P238 and the P938 now. Wife carries the P238 and I have moved to P938--bit more impact and only 1/4" longer. Ambi safety makes the difference for me, a left hander. Teach "Intro" handgun classes and after handling 12-15 handguns, the results for "new students"...
