Re*****on 1100 came in, customer stated that it would not cycle the next round, just had tried several repairs and part swaps before bringing to us.
Test firing confirmed that the action was not moving at all. On disassembly we determined that one of the gas rings was installed backwards. This will limit the gas pressure to cycle the action. Completed a second test fire and the firearm short cycled, the action would move about halfway. Back on the bench we went through the firearm polishing rough spots on the action, oiling wear points and looking at the bag of "spare" parts to see what version of aftermarket action spring was put in. Eventually we found all of the original action spring parts and put them back in the firearm.
Test fire followed by a clean and oil. This 1100 is ready for dove season!
