590 Action Release Control Issue

[djegators]

Last time I took my Mossberg 590 to the range, had an issue with the action release control after a few shots. Had to depress the lever to cycle action, when it should have unlocked automatically. Any ideas?

Hammer move freely? Good spring tensions in the trigger pack? Cleaned, degreased, relubed? Still happening? Got a pic (looking down into the mechanism)?

I have cleaned and lubed thoroughly, and everything looks good (to me) inside. Have not gotten back to a range where I can try it out yet.

Is it new or have you had it a while? Might have some burrs or need breaking in if new. It should work out of the box but that seems to be going the way of the dodo bird!!!

Contact Mossberg and get an RA# and send it back to them.

Not meaning to come off like a dick, but if this has not yet been done then the issue should not be discussed on this forum.

Really? You would not try to diagnose a problem BEFORE sending it back to manufacturer?

If the problem could not be solved with remedial action at the range and clearly impairs the operation of the weapon, then no I would not turn to an internet forum to try to diagnose a problem such as this. No offense to anyone here, but the right answer is to contact Mossberg and get the problem fixed the right way.

Furthermore there is a specific policy in place here at M4C regarding contacting a manufacturer first when problem arises with a weapon or piece of gear, before posting it on the forum.

Perhaps this should get it's own thread, but let's kick this around a bit.

The specific text of the rule is:

4) Contact The Manufacturer or Dealer First – Internet forums have a large global audience and unsubstantiated or ill-informed comments will affect the livelihoods of a lot of hard working people in the industry. If you have an issue with a manufacturer or dealer that you would like to resolve, we ask that your first contact them to resolve it.

If strictly interpreted, it would mean that no discussion of any issue, major or minor, could be had, nor could any preventative or diagnostic troubleshooting occur in advance of a more formal process with the manufacturer.

That's not good for the membership or the site. Such things, done competently, help make this the technical and professional grade resource that it is.

Take a hard look at it... If that rule were strictly enforced to the extent suggested here, how many would not be in violation? Look further, and ask if all manufacturers and vendors benefit from that rule equally.

I believe that the spirit and intent of the rule is to prevent a "I bought a <widget>, and look what a POS I got", rather than a guy asking a simple diagnostic question like that posed herein: What might be up if the action on his pump SG isn't unlocking as it should?

Sum: I think it's all in the professionalism, tone, and specifics of the post, and should remain so.
