Default RE: Beretta Pintail/ ES 100 Problem. Please help if you can

DevilDog:
For the first two years (I've had it for three now)it would not chamber the second, sometimes the third, round about 2-3 times during a day of shooting ducks (20-25 rounds). Took it to a gunsmith TWICE for the same problem, onceeach of the two years and each time he said he couldn' replicate the problem, but worked on it some....last time he actually honed the inside of the housing for the recoil spring in the stock w/ very fine sandpaper/steel wool. I got it back from him in October 2008, COMPLETELY dissassembled the gun and cleaned it again. Went to the pattern range and fired the first shot (only a single shell in chamber) and THIS time it didn't fully EJECT the shell! I've tried Federal, Remington, Kent, Estate, and Winchester ammo, all with similar results. I was so pissed at the failure to eject this time, that I only fired the one shell, quit and went to seeksolace in a 1/2 gallon of Jack! Going duck hunting this weekend. We'll see if the damned thing survives the day or winds upat the bottom ofthe pond! I've about had it with this thing. I appreciate any suggestions you or anyone on this forum might have. Take care. Merry Christmas!
