Are you shooting factory ammo out of it?

I am shooting the Hornady LeveRevolution ammo out of it, as that is what I will use for deer season.

I have a 444s and had something similar would happen. After firing the next case in the mag tube would get pushed in prematurely and cause the lever to lock up. I made up some dummy reloads and cycled the crap out of it until I figured out what was happening. I ended up replacing the loading gate and that finally fixed it.
Good luck |

Thank you. This does is regardless of if there is another round in the tube or not.
I did find that the screw in front of the lever was sorta loose so I tightened that up a bit. Wont know until I try it again. |

Does it do it when cycling the action with no rounds in the gun?

Nope. It literally only does it after firing a round. I even placed a once fired brass into the chamber to see if it was sticking on extraction and had no problem working the lever.

I believe the recoil is causing something to get mis-aligned. See if you can somehow recreate the failure, maybe with a buttstroke.
You can also look at your brass to see where/if they are getting marred. I spent hours on mine, at first it only did it when firing, then I could start to reproduce the error. Once I figured out what was happening it still wasn't that easy to figure out the loading gate was fubar. |

Thanks Scotty. I might just send this out to a smith as I will admit to being a bit afraid to pull it apart myself.
Do you know of any local lever action guys? |

Not an uncommon problem. You'll find that after you tightened the "loose" screw it will work fine. Go to Leverguns.com
You'll find answers there. If you don't want to search just post the same thing you did here. You'll get more information than you'd have thought possible. |
