Mine has had several thousands of rounds fired through it. The button on the right side to release the bolt and close the chamber has stopped working. For the last year or so it has been really hard to push, the point to where I always hit it with a shotgun shell the close the chamber. Well now it has to be nearly hit with a hammer to close it. Has anyone had this before? Just wondering if it's something I can fix or if I need to take to a gunsmith and be without it for the rest of the season.

I haven't ever had that issue with mine. I'd take it to a gun smith, ASAP and get that booger fixed. -
No sir. Mine still operates flawlessly.Comment

Nathan, that is the cartridge drop lever. If you remove your trigger assembly does the cartridge drop lever move freely? If so, the problem may be your carrier latch. If it doesn't move freely &/or is frozen, replacing it would be an easy job. Go to one or both of the links below & you should be able to figure out what you need.

Just dont take it to bailey guns to get it worked on. They farm it out and if they use the same guy, he will tear up more than he fixesComment

Thanks Ted! I'll take a look at those links. When I take the trigger assy out the spring moves back and forth but I can't remember if the button pushes in or not. I'll have to look again. Cleaning didn't help at all so something is messed up for sure.Originally posted by twdjr View PostNathan, that is the cartridge drop lever.
