I've had mine for nearly 6 years without issues....My friend has one for three years, this past deer season he pulled the trigger on a buck, nothing worked the bolt and fired the second round without issue. Later that day he took the shell that didn't fire, it had a dent in the primer and he put it in another 20ga (pump) and it went off with no problem. I hear stories from the firing pin to the ammo itself. It was also Remington Accutip 3", which I use as well. That bolt needs to be worked, not babied
