remington 1100 problem

turkeyhunter36089
I have a remington 1100 3" magnum. When I shoot the gun everything works fine meaning it cycles fine and doesn't jam. However, after I shoot it I can't unload it without snatching the receiver several times. Once it comes loose it cycles fine as many times as you want to pull it, but once you shoot it again, it won't come loose without a fight. I don't see any visable wear, and the gun is clean. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

    wanted to take the stock off of my 1100, removed buttplate, tried to turn the nut on the action tube and it won't budge, tried letting penetrating oil sit on it overnight and nothing, tried tapping lightly with a hammer to break loose, nothing, and yes i am turning it the right way, am putting a lot of force on this thing trying to turn it, afraid i am going to break the action tube or something if keep going, any suggestions, thanks

    Turkeyman, I'm not at all sure what your problem is but I think the first things I'd do are to verify that the chamber is clean with no corrosion, and be sure that the magazine cap is good and tight. Not pipe-wrench tight, but good and snug. If that doesn't solve your problem you might need to find a good gunsmith to give it a look. Then again, maybe another gent might come along who knows the cure!!

    Good luck,

    Just a guess but I have seen a couple of guns that people have let the bolt slam home on empty chambers and that peens a small ridge at the very end of chamber.

    You might take a very close look at that chamber. A very small ridge will cause the casing to grip it when it expands after being fired.

    Does it do it with factory loads or reloads ?? If the brass head is not fully resized, it can be tight in the chamber. Cycle some shells manually. Upon firing the bolt opens and slams shut with a lot of force.
