Hey folks,
I picked up a lightly used 1100 a few years ago now, finally got around to shooting it. It is in pretty good shape and clean.
Well it is a fine single shot. That is, I fire a shell, it does not extract. (extract, not eject) In fact I can't even extract it by hand without beating on the charging handle.
At first I checked the gas piston and O ring. All good there. I then replaced the extractor and spring for good measure. All good there.
Still having the issue. I've stopped beating on the charging handle as I've slowed down and went piece by piece trying to figure this out.
The locking block is not fully unlocking from the barrel extension recess. If I jiggle the gun, or lightly tap it, it comes free and then I can extract the shell. Neither the locking block or the barrel extension recess seem especially worn or peened.
Thoughts? Thanks!
