I've been searching the Internet for a few weeks and testing different solutions, but I still have not figured out why my Franchi 48 AL is not cycling rounds.
This should give you a good idea what I'm working with:

When I got the gun, after some unsuccessful shooting, I noticed that the friction spring and friction ring were both missing. So I purchased those parts new hoping that would solve all my problems. It didn't, so I tried giving the whole gun a good cleaning including lightly oiling the mag tube – as some suggested. Still not cycling.
When on light load setting, it fails to eject the round, which makes me think that the friction spring is too tight. I could try putting more lube on the mag tube (even though the manual says not to do this) or stretching the spring a little.
When on heavy load setting, the round ejects, but the bolt fails to return forward and chamber the next round. I don't have any thoughts on that without another complete tear down.
Is my ammo junk? (See the video)
Thanks for any help you can provide!
