Stevens 41O trouble

[Kingfisher]

I've been using this single shot breakover 410 for a SSS gun lately. It jammed up tonight. After the first eject it won't come together. Seems like the arm that locks the brass in the chamber is "stuck". I suppose it's dirty but I can't get the shell out because the lock arm won't retract enough to allow that. I've sprayed it down with some "action blaster.". Anybody seen this before? Thanks in advance. I'm shootin 4 shot thru it ..

Truck radio antenna will work to get shell out if you don't have a push rod.

Make sure the opening lever is all the way to open and drop a heavy steel rod down the barrel several times (on a fired case), frequently that will help free things up.

I agree with both and clean the heck outo f it with gun scrubber one spent casing out and then use remington oil ... I love remington oil personally.

It ejected the kill shot....it won't fold back up with a new shell in the chamber...now the shell "hammer" is in the way to remove that loaded shell. I can pull it back a bit but can't get the " shell hammer" to remove enough to pull the load out ;(.

I think I had that happen to my first shotgun try holding the lever you use to break the gun open and shut it see if that helps. I think I understand what you are talking about.

Got the shell out...I'm going to clean it good tomorrow. Seems like it's dirty and does not like Rhea 4 shot Remington. Cats don't like em either...shhhhh ;) thanks for your help
