I have a Charles Daly that has been nothing but a dream. Now I am now having problems loading shells. The first shell will load, but comes back past the cartridge stop and ejector assembly slightly. It is difficult to depress the button to allow me to load the second shell due to the brass from the first shell slightly blocking it. If I get the button depressed, it will not allow me to load a second 3 1/2 shell at all. It feels like the first shell cannot move up at all. I can load a 2 3/4 sheell, but it will then "pop" under the plate.

Just started doing this, no problems at all last use in february. Well cleaned, and just took entirely down, cleaned out any debree and still does this.

need you help.

update: thought

could the cartridge stop have become bent? if it was jammed by a shell, and I press the release too hard, it bends it in the middle, thus forcing the cartridge stopper backwards, thus no longer effective in stopping the shell?
