[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Mossberg 590A1 Magazine tube issues

Posted: 10/23/2014 5:42:24 AM EDT

I am having problems with shells getting stuck in my magazine tube. Right here the tube meets the receiver is where the shells are getting caught up. I would need to push the shell in and quickly release sometimes for it to meet the shell stopper.

1) Check your spring for proper tension. Replace or at least stretch it out periodically.
2) Check to see if the follower is binding or has a burr
3) Clean the tube, spring and follower and re-assemble without extra lube. Lube in the mag tube tends to attract grit that can cause issues.

Is something clogging up the shell stopper?

edit: I don't know how to read.

Are you using new ammunition? Storing a shotgun loaded to maximum capacity can can cause shells to bulge from the compression over time...

It is not recommended to "stretch out" springs to increase their lifespan or get more force out of them. Stretching the spring will shorten their lifespan even more as you're "working" the metal.

Mag tube spring are super cheap, buy a new one and get a spare or 2.
