Model 1400 20 gauge doesn't cycle correctly
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2015 2:02 pm
Hello All, just joined, glad I found this "Winchester" site!...I just bought the
20 gauge semi-auto in fairly excellent condition, I did my 1st cleaning after
taking it out dove hunting, but when i put it together the bolt assembly does
not lock back, cycle a new shell or even actuate the shell ramp?! I have the
12 gauge version of the same model and have had it for 15 years, it was easy
to clean and put together from day one? I've tried for 2 nights straight and I'm stumped,
I did not force anything in so I don't think I bent anything, the only difference I see
between the 2 models is the bridge in the 20 does not need a screw, is there a
trick or tip someone can help me with before I take it to a shop? Any help
would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
