My 1201 simply does not cycle. Despite taking it down, inspecting, cleaning and lubing everything, it does NOT eject/reload. At best, a hull will stovepipe; usually it does not even get that far.
As this is a recoil action, there is no gas tube to clog or ring to put in backwards. Just what IS its problem? |

Probably cheap shells. Many of the cheap bird loads (like the Win. Super Speeds) have a lighter charge and do not produce the necessary recoil (or gas) to cycle many autos. If this is a 12 ga. you can still use less expensive shells but go with 1 1/8 oz....

I thought of that, but
not even medium brass #4's cycled. I am REALLY frustrated.

#1 jammer of autos is a dirty and/or rough chamber. Use 4/0 steel wool and get things clean and slick, bet the prob vanishes....
