Waimea Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I have an original Winchester 97 that the slide hangs. By hangs I mean when you slam it closed it won't easily slide back to eject the spent shell. I had one of these a long time ago and kind of remember it was something simple but maybe not. Your kind comments are appreciated.

Sarge Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 If you are referring to when you slam it closed, don't fire a round, then try to open (like when practicing), slightly push the forend forward then pull it back. When firing a live round, recoil does this for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Push the forearm forward after firing, and then see if it works 'rite'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waimea Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 Ok Will try pushing forend forward. This happens randomly after firing a live round, the slide jams in the forward position. I mostly slamfire but sometimes not. I am not gentle with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Rich Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Best way to fix that is buy and use an 87. And shoot it OUTLAW. kR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 JWAG But there is ring around the mag tube under the forearm. It's a narrow steel band that looks like a lock washer. It cushions the forearm to help the action unlock. You have to remove the forearm to see it. Good luck More guesses to come and maybe a better explanation GW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Make sure the magazine tube is secure and the tube index screw isn't missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
