You will need to see a gunsmith to find out the correct answer.
You probably put the wrong shell size in the chamber.....I did the same thing when I got mine. There is a release on the inside of the chamber....compress it with the metal chamber cover also compressed and the shell will pop out
3 shot (1 in chamber & 2 in the tube)
Between the bolt & the chamber in the locked up position-NONE. lcjones
The model number and other information is on the left side of the barrel back by the pump action (what you hold to pump another shell into the chamber).
One can find a shell puller for a Savage model 30 series E 12 gauge pump with 3 inch chamber through Savage directly. One can also find this item through gun auctions and classifieds.
Your rifle was manufactured by Winchester as their model 121. The spent shell is removed from the chamber by action of the right and left extractors and is then bounced out by bumping agains the ejector. Look for problems there. Parts are available from gunpartscorp.com.
That can only be answered by you providing the model number of your Western Field shotgun.Most shotguns will be marked on the barrel for the length of shotgun shell the chamber can handle.
I have one here. It is shootable. I have trouble injecting a shell in the chamber once in a while...
slide a 3" shell in the chamber manually and see if it fits without being forced.
Yes
This switch operates the Magazine cutoff. The cutoff enables the gun to open the chamber and remove the shell to insert a different shell into the chamber, but it is done while the magazine remains loaded. This way, the chamber can be emptied and the extra shells in the magazine will not automatically load. Recommend you use the link below to the Owners Manual for the A500 model. The Magazine Cutoff operations are shown on pages 29 and 30.
I believe it is so you can fire it as a one shot it keeps the next shell from coming out of the tube, you can load another shell by hand.... You are absolutely correct! Not all Mod 20's have that selector but that is what it is for. It prevents another shell from loading into the chamber when the action is moved.
