Benellirook Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 I have a Supernova Pump that has recently started sticking when racking the slide. I'm not sure what it is. Took it apart and cleaned it all up and still. I know there is something simple that I'm probably missing and need to ask for help at this time. Hopefully the video will post and show where it gets stuck. If anyone has had this happen to them before, would love to know what you did.

M2_shootr Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I once had an old, abused and neglected Mossberg a friend gave me. It was smooth as butter, Then I cleaned it. All that gunk is why it was so smooth. Disassemble and look for burs and shiney spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benellirook Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 I'm going to have to try to clean it out again and will look for the burs and shiny spots you mentioned. So frustrating that this happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benellirook Posted October 13, 2023 Author Share Posted October 13, 2023 I took it apart again and can't figure out where the rough spot is. I'm going to give it one more cleaning overhaul this weekend. The gun itself shoots great and will still rack, but it is not operating as smoothly as it once did.

RxArms Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) I think my Turkish pump is a nova clone, it had a similar issue with very resistive pumping. Lubricate the magazine tube, that was the issue with my gun, it ended up making the cycling 10x easier. I hope this helps!

RxArms Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 I should clarify, lubricating the OUTSIDE of the magazine tube may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
