Cleaning/restoring a Mossberg 151k

Actually, when I was using it, it wasn't feeding properly and therefore not extracting. Sorry, I should've been clearer. It would bend the cartridge case like a tube of toothpaste.

I could see weak follower spring make it feed poorly, shouldn't affect extraction.

Make certain your extractor moves freely, has a good edge (to grab rim), and it's spring is strong. Another good place to look would be the well beside the chamber the extractor fits into, make sure it's not full of crud.

I'm almost done with my 151M-C. It also had a broken wrist but you can hardly tell with a darker stain on the stock. It drives tacks with the aperture sight and the selectable front pins.
A buddy gave me this rifle and I'm glad he did. Nice shooting accurate guns.

Jealous.

Update: turns out I'd misaligned the leaf spring and mag tube. It works perfectly now.
