Hi all. My Mossberg Maverick 88 I bought a bit less than a year ago, is suddenly frequently jamming & not cycling, both in the magazine tube below not cycling live shells from magazine tube into barrel chamber when pumping the forearm assembly.
And a shell even stuck ( at least after it fired ) near the trigger end of barrel after it was fired, instead of ejecting out.
Maybe coincidence, but I used a cleaning rod with brush and cloth to do my first general cleaning / oiling of inside of barrel between previous use at range and this most recent time a few days ago when it was jamming. Maybe i didn't clean it correctly? I didn't take it all apart, just removed barrel and reattached it after cleaning.
This recent time at range i used a few different rounds, mostly Remington, Fiocci and something else i dont remember. 2.75" & 3". I never use longer than 3" shells.
I made a ( somewhat long ) video -
showing at beginning of video showing after issues at range, when back indoors trying it with dummy rounds and still malfunctioning. And during at range when it shot successfully first few times, then began malfunctioning and a working at range came over and looked it it for a bit. He suggested taking it to someone at 29 Outdoor. Though I prefer to fix it myself if possible and safe to do, given the business charges a $80 base fee plus whatever else they do and time they spend, which Id rather not pay so much. Could easily cost enough to buy a new guy again.
Any suggestions as to why its doing this and how to fix?
