Hello,
I just picked up a new Mossberg 590A1 last week. In this period of time I've had the gun's slide jam on me twice. Since I owned it I've fired a bout a box of shells through the gun. A mix of buckshot, slugs and birdshot. After the gun jammed the 1st time I brought it to my local gunsmith for him to look at. He said there was nothing wrong with the gun & that it was the shells that I was using at the time. Those were Winchester Super-X birdshot loads. So I got the gun back & loaded it up with some Federals birdshot loads and had the same results as the first time. After firing the slide locks right up and you have to force the slide back to get the shell out of it.
Any suggestion on what to do? The gun is clean. I don't have problems with these shells with any of my other shotguns. Should I send the gun back to Mossberg? Find a new gunsmith? Sell or trade it for another firearm?
I really like the Mossberg shotguns because of the safety location because I'm left handed. But if the gun going to jam after a few shots
