I have a Winchester 1300 12ga. It's a pump, of course. When I fire it, the chamber comes part way open. That should not happen, right? When you shoot a pump shotgun the chamber should stay closed until you pump it, right? It's been doing this for a while but it didn't click in my brain until yesterday that something is wrong. Help?
