Good Morning guys,
First post here, have a question. I'm not terribly knowledgeable about Savage shotguns, but I have a Model 30 E 12 gauge. When I got it, it was in rough shape and looked as though it had never been cleaned in all its life. Everything was gummed up and not working right. I took it down and cleaned everything, but its got a problem. During cycling the bolt doesn't lock forward before firing the next round. You can pull the pump handle back at will exposing the unfired shell. Is this a worn part? Occasionally it will lock, but 8/10 times it won't lock forward. Can anyone here tell me where to look for the source of this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Chris
