Brand New to Canada: SG-12 "SPAS"

I notice you’re using the bolt release while in pump mode.

It seems to me that the pump may introduce some friction when using the bolt release button. How does it feed those same rounds when in semi mode?
Its certainly slow down the bolt, but in any case its shouldnt induce jam and it dosent explain all the other one. In semi it will do the same. When I went to range I mostly used target load, so every jam in semi I attributed to lack of velocity, but I did had these ftf happen quite a bit . Today when I tested my bolt release I had a couple of the same jam happen I was curious too see if it was cause by the brand. So I tried my federal shells, wich were 3 inch, and realize that this gun just cannot cycle them. Its been now more than 4 days and I still havent heard back from TI.
 
Still trying to diagnose those failure to feed. So I have a question for you fellow spass owner. If you rack your slide really slow, does another round pop out the mag or you need to rack it hard?
 
Tried mine out, start with 25 x 2 3/4 buck. Pleasantly cycled all in semi auto no issues. Even hip shooting. moved to target load, will not cycle as suspected. tried some 3" high brass. That's when things started going bad. double feeds and empty chamber not drawing from tube every once and a while but getting worse. Near the end could not get any to draw from the tube. The problem is the bolt release lever is sticking or binding. its not grease as i just cleaned it. I'm going to pull it apart see why its not moving freely.
