i own a Mossberg 183T .410 Full choke. a friend borrowed it for some weekend fun and returned it with the words "sorry, i ****ed it up"

i was mad as all hell as this was my fathers gun, and a favorite of mine.
i guess he spent either a .45 Auto or .45LC through it (he wouldnt say, he ran off rather quickly and sheepishly) and now compatible ammo will not load. it allows itself about... a 5th of the way into the chamber and abruptly stops. will not fully load a round. i dont see any brass and am quite puzzled as to why i cannot get compatible ammo to chamber. any advice or information would be greatly appreciated as i work what seems like more hours than there are in the day and dont currently have time to take it anywhere or even properly examine it. i barely had time to post this.

thank you all in advance.
