So I've only noticed when shooting trap, but sometimes when I go to eject a shell during a round of trap, my action sticks. I was told by one of the guys that it's because I was using shotshells with steel vs brass cartridge bases, but I was using brass the other day and it was doing the same thing. Sometimes my extractor slips right over the rim leaving the spent shell in the chamber.
I don't believe it is a sticky, rough or burr in the chamber as it is a polished, ery smooth wingmaster. The only thing I can think is maybe it is time for a new extractor, of which I have a new Volq extractor for it just haven't put it in, OR, it is because during a round of trap, to keep track of my misses I am more gentle about shucking out the spent shell because I eject the shell into my hand to put in my vest pocket.
Has anybody else experienced this? I know some actions prefer to be worked with authority and consistency to be reliable, sometimes when using the ½ power shucking method the bolt glides back easily but often times it stays locked and I have to really shuck to get it rearward and sometimes the extractor will intermittently jump the lip of the shell...
Just wondering if it's because I need to rack the same every time to expect reliable extraction or if I should be concerned. Or simply try the new extractor and see if that solves it. I know some of you guys have probably spent more time with an 870 in your hand than I've been alive so any input appreciated.....
