I think the 20 gauge heard me speaking with Art and realized the error of her ways. The sticking bolt (1/2 way if hammer cocked) suddenly stopped about 30 seconds ago! Perhaps it is an intermittent problem or maybe she just needs a good cleaning. Too bad some jackass put the mag tube end cap on so tight I need a wrench! By the way, what does one do with a mag tube end cap that is on too tight?
If your name is Bubba use Vise Grips, otherwise use a strap wrench or at the very least pad the wrench jaws with a piece of leather. If the problem happened once it'll happen again. I'm guessing the Action Tube is broken. Like I said, you can disassemble it yourself or go ahead and let Art fix it. If it is the tube you'll have to send it anyway.
I was thinking about using a blow torch, you know, heat it up, probably come right on off. A strap wrench eh? I'll look into that, thanks! I wondered that too, if it was just me or if it would happen again. I am going to try and shoot it soon and then maybe try and take it down: I will need some finer tripped screw drivers though, and I already have a Brownell's hollow ground set but those aren't fine enough for the A5 screws.
