I have a 1979 12 ga that I bought a year or two ago. I have had some issues with FTE, and FTF. I had a new carrier put in it and mag spring to hopefully solve this, but haven't tested it yet. I was reading about light loads and how some guns are designed to work with certain loads. I will primarily only ever use this gun for clays or doves so I have never paid attention to loads that much (not a competitor). Even with 8 or 9 shot should I put the heavier loads in it to maybe help with the cycling?
On another note, the first time I ever shot it it performed flawlessly. These issues only came up after a field strip cleaning. When I pivot the gun up or down I can hear something sliding inside. Is this normal?
