I've got an old Sears model 102.25 which is a re branded Stevens model 520A. Got it from a family member and i'm trying to get it back to working condition. It had no stock so I found one and got it to fit but now i'm facing a magazine issue.
When I load the shells into the magazine, they are not retained in there. The only thing that holds them from coming out is the lifter assembly. This makes loading seem unnatural and difficult. If I were to load the magazine, then hold the lifter down, all of the shells will fly out.
When the bolt is open, there is a cartridge cutoff that works, but when the bolt is closed that becomes depressed.
From what I understand there is little tab that comes off the bottom of the slide which holds the next shell in place until the action is cycled again. I can see it, but it seems like it is too far back to be functional.
Any Idea's on what to do is appreciated. Thanks!
