Chamber should stay closed . . . right?

[7.62 man]

My Mossberg 500 has done it since I bought it using AA heavy loads. Not so much when I use light target loads. I just thought it was normal, it's not causing any problems so I'm not worried about it.

Thanks . . .

Thanks. This has been a real education.

Will shoot the gun with a lot more confidence in it now.

its what makes the win 1200 and 1300 great. no time wasted getting the second shot in. perfectly normal.

And what makes the 1200 less than great is the poor design of the aluminum trigger group housing. There is a very thin part of the housing that anchors the spring that puts tension on the safety. If this breaks, the safety button can fall out.

I've seen this happen on two different 1200s that were otherwise undamaged.

A poor design, in my opinion.

Just for accuracy's sake, the bolt slightly retracts, clearing the ejection port.....the chamber is within the barrel and does not move.
