Col Del Rio Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 I have 2 rather old 1987 Winchester pumps. Both have problems cycling/ejecting spent shells. The guns fire just fine, then they jam upon cycling the pump. I’ve tried several different kinds of ammo but the same result of jamming. Any suggestions, recommendations? Del Rio
Hendo Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 How do you mean problems? Are they not extracting the spent rounds or not ejecting them?
Col Del Rio Posted March 28, 2022 Author Posted March 28, 2022 I the pump action won't travel. It remains forward. It takes considerable effort to cycling the action.
Hendo Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 They both have the same problem? Have you cleaned them? 97s can be a bit finnicky if they are dirty or have old oil/grease that's got all hardened at stuff. Don't ask me how I know.
Hendo Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 1 minute ago, Col Del Rio said: Guess I'd better do it My first 97 was a bear to work. It took awhile to get the mag tube to turn and the slide to go forward to take it down. After I got it apart, I soaked the bolt and carrier in a jar of denatured alcohol for a couple of days to break all the gunk loose. After that, I started going after the hardened deposits with a small pick. I found screws I didn't know were supposed to be there. There could be other problems, you know how it goes, but you gotta start somewhere. I know there's smarter folk here than me that can help, too.

Col Del Rio Posted March 28, 2022 Author Posted March 28, 2022 I didn't try that. It was in a match so I forced things.
WOODFOX , sass#34179 Posted March 28, 2022 Posted March 28, 2022 your magazine tube could be bent or out of round ,barrel chamber ring could be out of round , is your extractor broken ? sounds like a tare down and a good cleaning may be in order . Woodfox
