I have a 990 (just like the 60) that I bought used.
I bought it used, took it apart, soaked the bolt and loading mechanism in mineral spirits. Scraped out all the accumulated crud. Blew it out and dried it off.
The first round fires, the case ejects but it will not cock for the next round.
I have to manually pull the bolt back, eject an unfired round in order to cock the firing mechanism.
