~~~~winchester 50 load malfunction

[r8rdrew]

I shot my shotgun three times and all was fine. Now all the sudden the feed arm wont go up to load the shell from the plug tube, and the slide/action wont stay put at the rear of the body when empty.
Any ideas?...spring?? pin??

Winchester model 50
12 ga.
semi-auto

Can you field strip it and see if any parts are broken? That's what I'd try first.

I figured it out Geronimo. Thanks
The internal bolt in the butt of the gun is the spring tensioner and the exterior ring is to hold the buttstock tight to the body.
The internal screw was to tight.
