Fore arm lock after firing

Recommended Posts

My 3 year old Super Nova has developed a problem - the fore arm remains locked after firing so the spent shell can't be ejected and the second shell loaded.   If I press the breech bolt latch, the fore end will slide back and allow the spent shell to be ejected and the second shell to be loaded.  Obviously, this is a problem since the second and third shots are important when duck hunting.

Has anyone else run into this problem? Any idea what the problem might be and how to fix it?

I just shipped my nova off for a repair for a somewhat similar issue. 

The fore arm started to catch when I would rack a round. It was subtle at first but continued to get worse. It just wasn’t smooth at all.

I had only put roughly 300 rounds through it. I cleaned it after every session. 


The back of end of the receiver had some wear and tear… hopefully they will be able to repair!
