Gunman Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 Simple answer is without seeing it NO BODY can say . There will be lots of comments like "put some oil on it" . It may well be that dried up oil or grease could be the problem .But. Without knowing some more info , such as ,has this just started or has it been ongoing and getting worse ? Does this happen when the gun is fired or when its empty ? With the forend on or off? Has the gun been " serviced/ fully stripped "and cleaned recently ? Is it just stiff or does it feel as if its jammed then releases ? There could be several reasons that without taking the stock off and looking at the lever/bolt connecting pin , the way the spring engages , as well as checking clearances between the barrel wings and the action etc. etc. that could all be a cause .

mossy835 Posted January 9 Author Report Share Posted January 9 (edited) dont know when the gun was serviced if it ever was, when the top lever is pushed across there is like a small sound of grinding,might take it back to the gun shop where i bought it.just took the stock off and gave it some oil seems to be ok now, smoother than it was, Edited January 9 by mossy835 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be metal pickup or dirt, or something broke off inside the action and is rubbing against the top lever spindle, as gunman says, the gun needs stripping to see what's happening. If you are not confident about stripping the gun down then take it back to shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
