Mack Hacker, #60477 Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Shooting the last stage at the SW Regionals, this Cattle Baron Duelist had a senior moment and was not sure how many had been loaded in the rifle. I decided to empty the tube and reload, just to be sure. The action locked up on the very first cycle of the lever with a “”short round on the carrier” as the obvious problem. I cleared the jam and continued to cycle the rest of the rounds and, much to my surprise, got two more lockup’s. I then ruled out ammo problems and put the ten rounds in my wife’s rifle where they functioned flawlessly. In the shop this morning I took the attached photo showing a classic cracked loading gate tab. Best mechanical failure I ever had.
