686, I'm not an OC gun scrubber either. But the previous owner(s) of an old Revelation/Mossberg 500A I acquired, has us both beat. It was an old 70's gun that had layers of unburnt powder particles caked into the trigger assembly... took a soaking in Hoppes No 9 and two cans of carb cleaner to clean it out.

Your Express is of about the same vintage as my old Special Purpose, which was problematic as well. The issue with that one was an oddball shell carrier, not difficulty in unlocking. I'd say it's time to scrub your chamber bolt, carrier and the locking lug in the receiver.

FWIW my old '79 Wingmaster gobbles Universal, etc. by the hundreds.
