The shells get stuck in the barrel. It's clearly labeled 2 3/4 and 3 inch. It was bought new in the late 90's at kmart with my dads permission. I've polished it and keep it as clean as possible. Works decently with Winchester 3 inch but hates Remington. If i'm shooting clays they usually have a dowel that can be dropped in the barrel to knock stuck shells out. In the field I have a 410 shell 3 inches long with a bolt in it that I can drop down the barrel and the shell comes out.
I have borrowed barrels and they work fine. So it seems to be a barrel issue. But that shouldn't stop me from buying a new gun in 3 1/2 inch. I also plan on only running a few shell types in the gun so no switching between ducks, geese and turkey. Only shot size. I use Winchester 1550 xpert steel. I use 4's for pheasants and some say it's overkill but most of the time the bb's still have enough power to completely penetrate out the other side of the bird so no searching for bb's over the frying pan.
