I have a Gold Hunter that won't chamber a shell. When I pull the bolt handle back with 2 shells in the magazine, the bolt locks. When I release the bolt, a shell is chambered. After firing the shot, the shell is ejected, the trigger resets, but no shell is chambered. If I manually cycle the action, the carrier does not push the next shell up to be chambered by the bolt. Can someone tell me what kind of problem I have? With no shells in the gun and hand cycling the action the carrier does not move up and down when working the bolt back and forth? If I pull action back and it locks, when I hit release button, it does move upward. Only when I lock it back does it move. Just cycling it does not move. I dropped the trigger guard and couldn't really see anything obvious. After taking some photographs to use in reassembly, I took the trigger assembly apart. I inspected each part and still don't see anything that's obviously worn or broken. I then reassembled the trigger group and checked the operation. Like before, as I move the carrier dog back and forth, the large carrier doesn't move at all. The small carrier only moves about an 1/8". http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/HomochittoHollow/slideshow/
