ok well here is the deal. I disassembled it and cleaned it real well. It feels like its locking real solid, and it felt that way when i was shooting before. Now i was shooting this at my friends camp when it happened, that is 2 hrs away. I have a public range within a half hour of me. Is it a good or bad idea to test it there? if i do i can't hip fire it so i will be wearing safety glasses and hope the shell doesn't hit me in the face..I would just take a shot in the woods with it but my wmu is shotguns only.
