Need some help guys. Purchased a Mossberg 590 and have been experiencing feeding problems. At first I thought I might be short stroking when I worked the pump action. However, took it out again today, and had about 3 mis-feeds in 15 rounds.
One of two things happens. On one occasion ejected old round and before the new round could feed, it fell out of the gun. Second time, the round simply wouldn't feed into the chamber.
I shoot left handed, so I'm not sure if that's a factor. The fact that one round fell out, rather than feeding leads me to believe that I may be tilting the gun slightly to the right when I work the pump. I've also thought that maybe I'm just not working the pump action correctly. Do you pause between the ejection phase when you're pulling back and the feeding phase when your chambering the next round, or is it one continuous motion?
Of course, it could also be somethings a little out of alignment with the pump action itself, but before I start blaming the gun I want to make sure that it's not the nut behind the trigger that's at fault.
