I am new here, and am hoping for some help. I've browsed this forum in the past and have found the advice solid (based on what I read about things I actually 'know'). This is a stumper for me though...
I have a Remington 1100 Magnum with competition master 22" barrel. I have found that the gas seal and piston become ~"Jammed" in the gas cylinder (that cylinder part welded to the bottom of the barrel where the gas port is). I have an older o-ring but am replacing it along with the gas seal and piston (waiting on U{S at this point). This 'jam' occurs even if the gun is unfired. Last I shot it, with high brass 5's on a magnum bbl, it did not cycle. This 'jam' issue as I describe it, also happens on the magnum bbl.
Do I have issues? Is there something wrong that the gas seal and piston become stuck in the barrel sleeve? Will they
'release' upon firing? I assemble per Owners Manual diagrams. Were my high brass 5's not strong enough to cycle w/ magnum bbl?
I understand the difference between the two barrels I've used. I.e. Mag has one gas hole, Comp Mstr has two holes.
Any advice is much appreciated.
