Need 1187 Gunsmith

[Boogerhook]

I need to find a shotgunsmith preferably northeast metro area. 1187 20g compact won't run right. Any leads appreciated.

Have you cleaned it thoroughly? The end plug cap on mine has to be really clean to run well....

If you have not tried different ammo, try some magnum and some brass based standard loads. The cheap stuff will make a lot of semi auto guns fail to fully cycle.

Yeah, the gun was brand new. Shot a box through it on a dove hunt. Broke it down, cleaned thoroughly, light oil six months later it would not feed from the mag tube.Three different kinds of ammo. Took it back apart again cleaned again. Now it wont even take a whole shell in the mag. Can't figure out what i did wrong. Did my 1187 12g. at the same time and that one runs like a champ.

If you're ever down by the Airport, I'd take a look at it. Cost would be minimal, as it is likely something very simple.
