Win. 1300 failed and at discharge the chamber was not locked up. My 15 yo had his hands full at the time and missed the duck. We didn't care about that, just that he was OK. Gun stayed together though, but recoil was "a bit much" he said. Also, the "pump action" was faster than he had ever done on his own he said. Took the better part of two visits to the Gunsmith and a send back to Winchester to get it diagnosed and repaired.
Ever see a spent shotshell like this before?

You are seeing the plastic ribs through the brass. Where the brass stretches it gets shiny
I'm guessing the pump was not locked but close enough to fire I am one gun away from Happy

There is a sliding part (Slide Arm Bridge) upon which the firing pin mechanism (Breech Bolt Sleeve) rides. The Bridge has a tang on its aft end. That tang was bent out of plane.
