This is one of those things that would take about thirty seconds to show you or about an hour to write out. If you load a live round and can’t open the action without firing the gun by pushing the button with the hammer not on half cock, leaving the only way to get the action open is to fire the gun, then something is wrong with either the gun or the way you are operating it.
CLENAING A WINCHESTER MODEL 25 SLIDE ACTION SHOTGUN FULL
If the hammer is on half cock, the button won’t unlock the action until the hammer is moved to full cock or all the way down. With the gun empty, you should be able to depress the button and work the action without it locking up. When you load and fire a live round, the inertia of the recoil pushes forward on the slide and unlocks the gun.ĭepressing button on the right side should mechanically depress the same bar to unlock the action as the slide does when firing. With the gun empty, if you cock the hammer and pull the trigger, the gun shouldn’t open until you push forward on the slide and hear a little click. I use both types of shorter shells, but really should get my chambers lengthened eventually. You can trim AA's or other plastic hulls back and just put in an overshot card before crimping if you reload, or use the 2-1/2" all brass Magtechs. That means you either need to have your chambered lengthened, or shoot shorter shells. If it were mine, I'd take it to a a smith who knows 97's and have him give it a once over.Īlso worth considering, most 97s have got 2-5/8" chambers, even though they are labeled 2-3/4" They apparent y measured things differently back then somehow.
Does the button work when the chamber is empty? Again, if it does, but does not when there is something chambered then something is not right. Question: Can you open the action with an empty chamber while cocked? You should not be able to. That pushing the button does not allow you to open the action indicates that something is wrong. That buttons purpose is to allow you to open the action while the gun is cocked so you can eject a live round without having to lower the hammer on it, which is potentially dangerous. That being said, if you lower the hammer, you should be able to open the action.īut what is odd is what you said about the button. Once you work the action on a 97, you can't pump it again until it is fired.
