Normal function of Remington 1100 (help required)
Hi all,
I just picked up a Remington 1100 for an absolute steal. Its my first semi auto shotgun. Previously I have only had Over and Under and pump actions.
I have some dummy shells so I went to function test it but I want to make sure its functioning normally. It was v.cheap so I'm a bit paranoid.
Basically this is what I am doing.
Pulling back the charging handle so it locks in place
Inserting one dummy round into the chamber
Pressing the release on the underside which lets the action slam shut gun is ready to fire
Insert x number more shells directly in to the magazine tube
Dry fire
Cock the action again
It picks up the next shell, puts it up in front of the chamber but the bolt locks back.
Shouldnt it let the bolt come forward without the need for pressing the release if there is another shell present? Or does it only work when the gas system has been operated?
Thanks in advance
