1301 double feed? Bolt stuck forward
Hi all,
Disclaimer: I'm new to shotguns and new to the finer points of the armourer side of firearms, to so apologies in advance for any wrong terminology.
Literally just picked up a 1301 Mod 2 yesterday and handling it for the first time today, I loaded 2x snap caps after running through the actions about 10 times. First 3-4 times with the clear snap caps everything seemed fine, "spent" shells went across the room when I pulled the bolt back.
On attempt ~5 or so, it is now stuck with a "round" forward in the barrel and. another "round" directly beneath that one and the loader bar beneath the second "round" and the tube empty.
The under few shows the empty tube and the clear+red snap cap above the loader bar. Side few shows with my high-tech markup shows the position of the 2x snap caps (red) as well as the loader bar (blue) and the empty tube (green).
***The bolt will not move at all and neither will the loader bar. The bolt release button has no movement to it at all. It is essentially completely "frozen" as it is.***
The safety button will go on/off, but that does not change any bolt or other movement.
On instinct I took a small flathead screwdriver to see if I could wiggle the underside/second "round" a bit, but then stopped, put everything down, and walked away to consult the wisdom of the hive mind before contacting the local shop or Beretta.
I know I'm a noob....but any advice appreciated on how to:
- fix this immediate problem
- Make sure it does not happen again
Thank you
*speaking of manuals, mine did not come with one in the box and the QR code sends me only to Beretta pistols. Huh?
