I've run into another problem with a friend's shotgun. When pulling the operating handle back to chamber a shell from the mag tube the bolt just locks back. It does not release to chamber the shell.
The shell contacts the carrier latch, but does not push it back to release the bolt.
I've cleaned the gun thoroughly, the carrier latch moves freely, I put in a heavier mag spring, the shell pops freely from the mag tube. It just doesn't push the carrier latch to release the bolt.
If i push it with the shell on the carrier, the shell chambers.
The latch doesn't appear to be worn, it is bent as shown on schematics, the dog appears ok as well.
Any other thoughts on what I might do? I need some ideas.
