I bought an 11-87 Premier from my aunt after my uncle passed away. I don’t think the shotgun was used very much as it is in great shape. Took it to a sporting clays event last year and after a couple of shots it wouldn’t cycle or fully eject the first shell. Tried several more pairs and finally just put it back in the case and borrowed a buddy’s spare to finish the round. I assumed the barrel seal was bad because I know the gun was stored away for some time. I recently replaced the 2 piece piston and barrel seal with a new one from Brownell’s and thoroughly cleaned everything. Went to another sporting clays event this morning and it wouldn’t even cycle the 2nd shell. Action never cycled. What gives???? I’m fairly certain that the piston and seal is installed correctly. As I was cleaning it I made sure the gas ports were clear. Why won’t this thing cycle?? I’m using the Winchester AA 1 1/8 oz. #8. I Did try other shells last year (Fiocci 1 1/8 oz.) and had the same issues. Not a fan of the semi auto right now. I miss my old Maverick 88!! If it didn’t cycle it was my fault!
Thanks for the help.
