I recently purchased a used browning gold sporting clays 12 gauge shotgun. I bought it for my wife. The gun has functioned ok so far. After firing 100 rounds, or a typical sporting clays round, it starts to jam. It fails to feed mostly. I disassembled it, and there was a yellowish white material that was inside. It was like a waxy substance, but hard like a rock. I noticed it falling out while I cycled the bolt during the shoot but assumed it was dirt. Once dissasemed I am wondering what this is, or could possibly be. There seems to be some inside the action, in a small indention where the action meets the stock inside the action. I don't know what it is called, but there is a cupped out "socket" inside the action that the, also don't know specific name, metal arm or tail behind the bolt goes into. This small hole or indention is below that. Is there material in between the action and stock like a glue or something that could have came loose? Is there a material inside the stock that could have worked through a hole somehow? Are there holes for foreign material to even be able to travel from stock to action? Or is there just an unknown substance inside the action like possibly a grease that got too hot and hardened, or anything else that just have gotten inside somehow that shouldn't be there? Let me know what you think...thanks!
