i didnt read all the replys so sorry if i repeat it....but i think someone here or another board had the same problem and the company said its normal and its just for faster action work.....my mossberg does the same thing...the action opens half way....but i never noticed if upon recoil i pull back part way or what....i really dont care.....when im hunting or shooting quickly im raking another shell in upon recoil anyway....i work like an autoloader kinda....i let the recoil help me work the action back and work it forward and im back on target.....just the way i shoot my scatter guns i guess..........
