I have been having problems with my Mossberg 12 gauge pump action 590A1. I
have been using all different types of shells for it and many times it has
misfired. I have placed shells in the magazine tube and when I pump the
action back and then foward, I click the safety off and fire. Sometimes it
will fire, sometimes it will not. If it does fire, the next round may
misfire. It has been occuring quite frequently. I first thought it was
because of manual error, because I was not pushing the forearm smartly
enough. But it
has misfired even when I made sure I slammed the forarm foward. Then I
thought the ammo I was using was defective, i usually use slugs, thought
maybe the
primers were too old and they were recessed. But I changed ammo and used
buckshot, birdshot and slugs from various companies and it still happened. It
may happen frequently and sometimes it rarely occurs but every time I go to
the range it happens at least 3 times. I fire approximately 30 rounds and
three, at least, misfires. Misfiring is said in the context that I chamber a
shell and pull the trigger and nothing happens. then i thought it may be a malfunction in the firing pin retainer spring. but not sure though. The round just sits there, I
hear the hammer fall, but nothing happens. You may have to fire a
couple rounds before it misfires. I have a choate pistol grip full stock and
the really expensive sure fire tac light with a dedicated forearm. if i were
to send it for repairs would i have to remove both of these and put on the
normal stuff?
thanks
