M1S90 Would Not Cycle Federal 1145fps 00, until...


89M1S90

Recommended Posts

I got a good deal on Federal PD132 00 (1,145fps 00 flight control) and bought a bunch. However, I was very disappointed when my '89 M1S90 would not cycle it. i have had this load in the past and run it without issue. 

After shooting, I decided to clean her up. Found I could not remove the trigger group due to the Speed Bead binding against it, so I removed the Speed Bead. Then it struck me: maybe the Speed Bead was the issue.

So, with the Speed Bead gone and the shotgun still dirty, I went back to the range. I ran 4 boxes of PD132 00 through it flawlessly.  

The Speed Bead was the issue, though I cannot figure out WHY. Any thoughts out there? Any similar experiences? Planned to remove the speed Bead anyway, did not care for it.

Did you take the stock off to remove the Speed Bead? Was the action spring tube loose in the receiver, or was the stock nut overly tight and imparting a bend or bind on the tube?

Yes, I took the stock off and replaced it. The action spring was fine. I have never considered the stock nut being overtightened causing an issue and cannot say one way or the other if it was the problem.

Though I found I do not like the Speed Bead and do not plan to put it back on, I was looking for possible answers in case I can ever help someone else with the same issue. Thanks for the possible solutions!
