When the bolt of my Mossberg 590 is all the way forward (in the firing position) the pump action locks so that you cannot pump (unless you press the override button). Now, while this is locked, you can pull back on the pump handguard about 1/8 of an inch. If you have the pump handguard pulled back like this and fire, you cannot pump backwards to eject the shell until you push the pump handguard that 1/8 inch forward again.
This is very annoying because I often use my left hand (on the pump handguard) to push the shotgun backwards into my shoulder. After firing, I must then pump it an 1/8 inch forward before being able to pump back like normal.
Is this normal, or is something wrong?
