It's likely there's a plug in there, actually. I haven't taken it all apart yet. But I just lined up four shells along the magazine and there is a bit of room left.

Either way, the gun seems to wor ...

So it won't load 4 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber for a total of 5 ?

No.

Problem solved. This gun prefers 1 1/8 oz loads. Works just dandy with those. lol

It doesn't seem to be a "five shell" gun, but that "three shell" spring I got is definitely not ...

What I meant is that I'm away from home for a week now and can't lay my hands on this gun and see how many shells it holds and measure some things until I get home again. lol

Thanks for the links! ...

are you talking about the recoil spring, under the forearm ?

If so, is this what you ordered ?

Seems like there's a action spring inside the stock that can gum up over time. How long has it been since the action h ...

My dad used to have this issue with his Savage 775a in 16ga and he was told it was probably chambered for shorter shells. Years ago there was a guy back east somewhere (I think his name was Maynard) ...

Might try the shorter spring to see how it works.

I did, and it didn't... lol

hm... OK, all my 16 gauge shells are one oz of #6. I'll have to find some heavier ones and try again. My existing spring doesn't seem all worn out or bent. The new one just seems way too short.

Hello!

I have a Savage 720 that won't eject, and one of the first things that was suggested was to make sure I had a good spring in there, so I ordered one from Numrich and it's a good inch shorter ...
