Remington 1148 problems

[starkadder]

I recently aquired a like new Reminton 1148 12ga, the gun is in near mint conditon with about 95% factory finish, but it will not cycle. I have tried several different loads in it and bolt does not travel to the rear at all with lighter loads and just barely moves with heavy loads. I have checked it out and can't find any obvious reason why it will not cycle, any of you scatter gun experts know what the problem could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


This is this! It's not something else, it's this!

Don't pull it if you don't plan to use it, and don't use it if you don't plan to kill!

ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR MEN AND WOMEN OVER THERE.

when you remove the barrel, look for the friction ring, it is in the little circle that holds your barrel to the magazine tube. remove it. flip it over and reinstall. this should fix it. no garontees though.

that is if it's the same as the sportsman 48 (it is)

Thanks Kanook, that was it cycles like a charm now. I am real happy about my $100.00 investment now.
