105 CTi -- sticky action

Post by mzimmers »

Hi, all -

I recently took possession of my first shotgun, a 105 CTi. I am thrilled with it in all regards, except that the first inch or so of the action travel (from open to closed) is quite sticky. It often stops there when I am manually cycling the action. Once I get it past that first inch, it roars all the way closed on its own.

Any ideas of what this might be? I took it apart and gave it a thorough cleaning, and what I thought was adequate lubrication, but it's still cranky. Thanks for any input...
