Mild confusion after reassembly.

[ditchtiger]

Did some work and cleaning on a shotgun that is to be a present as I had one of these in the past. When I put it back together the slide did not lock back and the shell carrier did not lift. Lots of tear downs and part inspections. The gun worked worked before I touched it. It's a Winchester model 50. Very basic but I thought that screwing in the buffer plug a little further would help increase recoil spring pressure. What happens is the inertia rod bottoms out to soon. 1/8th" made all the difference.
So glad to see it working correctly. My daughter would have given me all kinds of grief.

So you're saying that you screwing in the buffer plug too far (how is that possible?) stopped full function?

There is a screwdriver slot in the plug, and holes in the body/wall of the tube it threads into. Then held in place by an Omega symbol shaped clip. I ran it down till the clip rested on top of the plug. It is to be run in till the holes are showing in the screwdriver slots.

Is a simple set-up, I thought I knew better than the designers.

At least you haven't put any AR hammer springs in backwards.

I'll never let my brother (The Armorer) forget that one...
7.62x39 AR would only fire every other round...
