Some of you may have seen it in my previous posts. I tried to fix it but my tamer 20 is still having a major stuck shell problem! I took apart the ejector, cleaned, honed, and lubed everything in accordance to FAQ's standards. I added a bb before the spring and reassembled. Nothing changed! About 1 in 6 cases stick. I've tried federal 2 3/4 6shot- Federal 2 3/4 Slugs Winchester 2 3/4 5shot - Federal 3" buckshot. All stick at about the same rate. After removing the shell with a sharp rap from a rod (some pressure but not alot) I can put them back in and they usually stick again. A few shells will stick if turned one way but will eject fine if turned another way. One thing I noticed is that the shells tend to have what appears to me to be some type of stress mark on one side of the brass of the shell. About halfway between the head of the shell and where the plastic begins. (Sorry I'm not good on shotgun terminology) This stress line seems to be much more prominent on the shells that stick. Does this mean anything to anyone? I have a feeling that the cases might be bulged slightly on that side. I cannot tell yet as my calipers are loaned to a friend at the moment. I'll see when I get them back. I will also get a few pics of the shells on here as soon as I can.
In the meantime...any ideas? I have this weird feeling that the chamber of the gun has some kind of deformity, but I have no way to prove this.
