edwinian2327 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Last year I bought a 20 ga. M2 in camo finish. I used it last year for ducks and geese, no problem. This year, I tried to use on doves, but i had a problem with the second shell not cycling into the barrel. any suggestions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Use more powerful shells My M2 20 shot both days without a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slsail Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Have you claens and oiled it since then and how?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinian2327 Posted September 3, 2007 Author Share Posted September 3, 2007 I broke it down completely and cleaned with solvent. I then applied a light coat of rem oil and wiped with a rag. i am going to try again today and see what happens. i think you might be on to something with heavier loads. Thanks!!

wallhanger53 Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Rem oil is rather thin and if the gun is new, you might want to be more liberal with a better or thicker oil like Miltec. Make sure you get some oil into the recoil assembly too, it's mostly responsible for feeding the next shell into the chamber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroker Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 What kind of shells were you trying to use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty or death Jr. Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Clean off all of the rem-oil, then apply a light layer of Breakfree CLP, FP-10 or Hoppes Elite gun oil. Rem-oil is horrible, I hate that stuff. If that doesn't work, use heavier shells. Also might want to send some really heavy 3" loads through the gun also. Might need more breaking in. Whats the dram equivelent on the loads you're using right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony72373 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I agree with mudhen. If your shotgun is clean and lightly oiled it should work fine. The only shell feeding problem generally incountered is too light of load (not enough power -recoil- for the enertia system to work properly). Compare what you used last year to now. Remember to post if you fix the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabradorGuy Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'm just curious about why everyone hates Rem-oil? I don't use it myself, but some of my friends do and they don't seem to have any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagrizz Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Last year I bought a 20 ga. M2 in camo finish. I used it last year for ducks and geese, no problem. This year, I tried to use on doves, but i had a problem with the second shell not cycling into the barrel. any suggestions?? Since you used it for waterfowl last season, did you clean the recoil spring that runs in the but stock? There is no mention anywhere that you actually cleaned it. You might want to give that a try as well. It should only take you about an extra 20 minutes the first time through. HTere are excelent instructions on how to do that here on this site. I think that they were originally posted by Tucker. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollinbigrubbers Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I hate to bring a dead post back from the grave but I have been having the same problem. My M2 is 2 weeks old I have shot 9 3" waterfowl rounds and 2 boxes of dove/skeet shot through it. No problem with the waterfowl rounds, but sometimes the 2nd shot of dove rounds will hang up, and also when loading the dove rounds I float a shell and pull the charging handel to the rear and the shell will get hung up in the action. I have no idea what is causing this, but I hope it just needs to be broken in. I have lightly lubricated the bolt rails with the supplied lubricant. Any ideas?

RemOil has a reputation for gumming up in the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
