That could be an issue, I see what you are saying now, I called to have him check that out. It is extracting and ejecting. It attempts to load the new shell but the bolt (I guess that is what it is still called on a skatter gun) is not locking fully into battery, it stops anywhere from 1/2" short to almost closing. Seems like the bolt isn't closing with enough force. Thanks for the help, much appreciated. If you have more suggestions please keep them comming. I will post the results.
