Savage Fox jams after shooting.

After testing today everything is good to go and the gun locks tight with no signs of blowing open. Even tried higher velocity shells in addition to the ones I was having the problem with.
 
Just an update. The shotgun is working fine and not experiencing any problems. It has already bagged 4 pheasants and a squirrel.

I wouldn't give a second though about picking up another Fox or Stevens 311 if the price was right. It may not be a $1200 Browning or Ruger but the pheasants today couldn't tell any difference.
 
I have a feeling that I could install the original parts and this whole issue was just a matter of a top snap screw being loose. Doesn't help you need a custom offset screwdriver to tighten it.
