Nova Tactical question

[Double Ought]

I am feeling like a complete f-ing idiot.... I'm hoping some of you Nova guru's here will be able to help me out.

 

I bought a used Nova Tactical from a guy and finally got a chance to take it to the range. Since I got it, all I've done is add a 4 round side saddle. Am planning to add a 2 shot extention as well.

 

This is my first pump shotgun, but I figure "how complicated can it be?"... Anyway, I get it to the range, get my target set, load 'er up, aim, squeeze..... and "click"... no boom. Checked the safety, ok, repeat... still no boom. What am I missing??? Is there some sort of internal safety? Would installing the side saddle interfere w/ anything?

 

Ugh.

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Um thats not good, all you need to do is throw a shell in the chamber, pump it and pull the trigger. Only one safety no internal safety. I would strip the entire gun and make sure everything is installed correctly, it might have been put together incorrectly or got jammed somehow.

Thanks... that's what I was afraid of... bleah

Ok, so in case anyone is interested, the problem appeared to be related to the side saddle I'd installed. I guess when I tightened the 2 screws through the receiver, I tightened them too much. Not sure what it was binding, but when I loosened them a half turn, everything worked fine.
