Hello,
I bought a Mossberg from BIG5 a while back. Have not fired it. It came with 2 barrels. I took off the long barrel and installed the shorter 18.5" barrel. I have single shot shotguns but this is my first pump. I have not even shot it yet.
I noticed today, while pulling it out to look at it (getting ready to shoot it for the first time this weekend), that when I tilt the shotgun pointed up position to pointed down, I hear what sounds like, a loose part inside the tube or somewhere, sliding around.
It's very faint but I can feel what I would describe as a "spring" moving around. Now this may be normal, but since I've never owned a pump before, this may be the normal spring sliding around. Or maybe the spring is loose and I need to fix it. I don't know. The sound is very faint and it's more something I can feel than hear. It's not loud and clankity like a screw. It's soft and jittery sound like a spring.
Can you please tell me if hearing a "spring" move around inside a pump shotgun is normal? I don't know if it's a spring, but it feels like a light piece of something metal that slides around when I tilt the gun up to the down position and vice versa.
Thanks.
