I'm getting my duck gun ready for a snow goose hunt I have coming up and I have a minor issue I've never experienced before.
I put a Nordic Components extension on my 11-87 to give me 13+1 capacity (have these extensions on my 870 and FN SLP with no issues.) The problem I have is that when the tube is full (13 rounds) and I hand cycle the the action, a shell ejects from the tube onto the lifter, but the action locks back. If I fire the first round with 13 in the tube, it cycles fine. While it's not a big deal, I'd like it to cycle normally on that first round if cycled by hand. Any suggestions? Did I leave the spring too long? (I always err on the side of longer than shorter; the directions suggest 16" of extra spring, and I have ~18-19") Could this be causing my issue?
