could be rust if its old. I have bought some old rusty 500's and maverick's
the magazine tube can be a pain to get off. needed to replace the spring and clean the tube. follower needed some cleaning and polishing after that was better than new.
also dont stretch springs it ruins them sure it may work for a while but after that it will go weak and need replacing. brownells,numrichs and midwayusa has replacement magazine tube springs.
