shotgun action opening?

[beex215]

when i fired my brand new shotgun, the action opens slightly after each shot. i never shot a shotgun before and im not sure if this is suppose to be happening. im thinking it could be that the gun does this normally or the ammo i was using is too hot?

What kind of shotgun is it? With my supernova pumps it's normal for the action to slide slightly back BC when u pull the trigger it releases the forearm and the locking lugs

Its supposed to do that... Its a winchester 1300 clone... The bolt unlocks and moves back after firing...

Speed Pump claims aside, all pump shotguns do that.
