Found out yesterday that the extractor on the bolt is broken. So far, that is all that found that is an issue.
tonelar, it's not the A1 model.what would break an extractor like that? does the 590A1 have two extractors?
Shot it yesterday morning.
The new ejector is fixed, and the gun runs "just ok"
It has a hard time pulling Federal (low-walled bird shot) from the tube, but overall works ok.
1 out of every 20 will not eject (get pulled) out of the barrel. I must remove the next shell from the receiver, run the forend home, and try again. Ejects the second time.
Shoots slugs, #4, and 00 Buck effectively with no issues.
Honestly, my Maverick 88 functions better.
sounds like a planI wonder if a stiffer extractor spring would fix that minor issue. If you want, when we meet next time, I'll take mine and we can throw the bolt into yours to rule it out. Want to?
Chamber looks great. No visible damage or carbon buildup.how shiny is the chamber… maybe polishing it will keep random shells from sticking?
was it doing this hot more than cold?
now, maybe that’s why the broken extractor…
I’d get cases sticking in an older Win pump, shooting cheaper bulk ammo (the hotter it got, the cheap metal bases seemed to stick more often)
solved it by putting a polish on the chamber.
Update: over in the shotgun forum, there are reports that bulk Federal (bird / target) sometimes expand more than spec.
