Pump sticks in rear position - solutions? **New Pictures**

[hutten]

I have a Norc HP-9 (Rem 870 clone), and lately I've been noticing that when I pump it, it likes to stick in the rear position. Usually all it takes is a good hard jolt to move the pump and bolt forward, but it's quite annoying. I keep the gun quite clean, usually I clean it after every shooting session.

Is there something I can do to fix this problem?

When you pump the shotgun try to see what the bolt is hitting if possible.

I ended up completely stripping the shotgun, and found that the inside tube of the forearm - where it connects to the rails that the bolt rests on - is cracked. Not happy.

Lets see the bit. Maybe someone can help. At least it will serve as a warning to others. (me being one of those with a norc 870 clone)

I'll try post a pic tomorrow - I need some sleep

Here's some pictures of the broken action tube.

That was enough to make a piece of the rail rub against the receiver, making it quite hard to pump.

You need a new one. A Remington one should fit.

Crazy. Just a crappy weld I guess.

New one or try to have someone weld it. A good clean brass welding should be enough. For sure, don't do it yourself but a gunsmith or someone with good welding skills should help you.

Ouch!

It's a Norc, what did you expect? Just dump it and get a real 870.

I think the glue that holds it on only has a life of a few years.

Norcs are a great buy for a cheap gun. You must expect that some will fail like this. You get what you pay for in the end. Judging by the pic i see some rust. Did it get wet a lot?

I think if you can get some industrial strength epoxy, you might be able to fix your gun without having to weld it. It's worth a shot at least.

Don't bother dicking with it. Just buy a replacement.

Duct tape might work too.

There is no rust on the action tube - those are weld marks on the last picture, and the others are rub marks.

I know it's a cheap gun, but it's still under warranty, so the gun shop is replacing it for me. Hopefully it'll last a little longer.
