Vermin71 Posted October 2, 2023 Report Share Posted October 2, 2023 I have a 20 gauge 303 that will not cycle. I cleaned it thoroughly and replaced the recoil spring and tube...and it still won't cycle. I am using high base 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells but it will not kick the bolt back. The gun fires but simply won't cycle. Is there another common problem with this model that i am missing?? What else could cause this?

vmaxphil Posted October 3, 2023 Report Share Posted October 3, 2023 I gather you have cleaned out the gas ports in the barrel? have a check of the trigger unit as the bolt recocks the hammer and if it's sticky or damaged it might be the cause 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't feel any hangups in the trigger/bolt action when i reset it by hand but i will certainly check that again and for any defects. thanks.
