Just TRIED test-firing the Winchester 1300 I got this week. Tried two brands of #4 and two brans of slugs. Identical results: it will feed and fire OK but won't eject 80% of the time. The bolt carrier will move back about an inch or less and the bolt stays engaged. Depressing bolt release really far and using a lot of force eventually gets it back...takes about three to five minutes per shot, happens with all types of ammo.
The kicker is that I can't even take the gun apart to se ewhat's wrong. It is locked up now and the pin that should be drifted out doesn't actually come out. So I can't get the trigger group removed.
At this point, having laboriously fired about twelve rounds over an hour or so, I have zero confidence i nthe gun. Do you think I can convince the store to take the thing back if only for store credit or a different model (870 comes to mind) or what are my other options?
