I've just bought one of these guns, first auto loader for a while, and I've not had the chance to fire it yet (until sunday) so I'm sitting here in the garden trying to load shells into the magazine. I had an 1100 a few years ago, so I'm very familiar with it.
But, I pull back the bolt to load the first shell, close the bolt with the button on the carrier assembly, but the shell will not go into the magazine.
Closer inspection shows that the cartridge interceptor latch is still up. I can pull this down with my finger, and the shell goes in no problem. Then I rack the slide to remove the first shell from the chamber (can't fire it in my garden!) and load the shell from the magazine. Rack the slide again and remove the shell.
Then start again, but the interceptor has not moved, so I have to pull it down with my finger again. Is this because there has been no recoil as I haven't fired the gun? Or is it because it's stiff from still from being new? (I don't recall this problem with my 1100) or is there a problem with it?
I hope not, it's a long drive back to the shop! Any help out there please guys?
