KSG Hard to Rack

I was shooting a buddies KSG and it was almost impossible to rack once loaded. I would have to smack the forward grip to get it to cycle back almost every time. I took it home and checked it out. Is this part (the hammer bar I think it is) bent? It's not supposed to look like that is it?

Would you say that's the root cause of the hard action?

WTB Loaded Chamber Indicator

Like the title states. I’m looking to purchase a loaded chamber indicator of a CA version DY9. I know some of us have removed them, so if you don’t need it I’d be happy to purchase it.

Not sure if this is allowed. Mods please feel free to delete if not.

Broken Lag Bolts - Update

Thanks everyone for all of tips regarding the lag bolts that I kept breaking.

Using a 6 inch drill bit worked! And then the drill bit snapped. (The photo shows the now broken drill bit. The other part belongs to the wall.)

Final thoughts. GRK Structural Screws are amazing!

Thanks everyone.

Why do these lag bolts keep breaking on me?

I tried pre-drilling and even saw somewhere I should use grease. First I used an impact gun, broke. Then I used a ratchet, broke. They both broke where the threads and the smooth section meet. They’re 1/4” x 5” bolts. Both times the bolts broke before ether bottomed out. The broken ones are mangled because I used a vise grip to get them out.

Any help or recommendations for better bolts would be greatly appreciated. Especially if it’s something I can buy at my local Home Depot as I’d like to complete this project tomorrow.

Thanks again!
