  The recoiling barrel means just that, upon firing the barrel recoils back pushing the action to the rear position the bolt holds open until the barrel goes back to the forward position releasing the bolt and picking up another shell as it slams forward. The gun is spring operated more than gas operated as most semi auto shotguns. My first 12 guage was just this same gun and functioned great through thousands of rounds. I think Winchester had a recoiling barrel shotgun as well Model 10? I think.[;)]
