xX Hunter UK Xx Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 i have got given a Stevens model 77f savage arms an old gun made in USA. nice gun that has a twist variable choke. only problem with it is once you fired a shot you can pump to eject the cartridge but even if you have a cartridge in it you have to push the plate on the bottom up to pump the gun so it loaded again. and it allot of effort where most pumps just pump up and down to load the cartridge. if any of that made any sense is that what the pump is meant to do or is it a problem with the gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Could be the shell-plate carrier....take it to your local dealer for him to have a look at.Shell-plate should move up/down as you work the slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Perhaps it may just need a complete strip and a good clean.I f you take it to a dealer,ask for a quote for the cost of whatever work youy want doing,then there's no surprises.It shouldn't cost more than 50 quid tops.

vole Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I had a Savage Stevens pump action . Good gun apart from the fact that I had to press the slide release button very time I worked the action after a while. I had just gone to great lengths to fix another problem with the cartridge retainer catch so I lost patience and got rid . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xX Hunter UK Xx Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 so if you fix the cartidge slide it should pump normally because i have someone who can fix them who work with them types of gun and want it working for pigeon shooting. i got the gun for free so willing to spend like 30 - 40 pounds on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
