I've got a Browning BPS pump 12 gauge. Bottom eject. For years it worked great but now I have an issue I can't seem to get rid of. Sometimes when I cycle the pump after shooting, the gun doesn't grab the next round to put in the chamber. The spent shell ejects fine but the next rounds are still in the magazine.
Sometimes it does grab the next round but drops it rather than putting it in the chamber. I've lost several rounds in a swamp because of this.
I thought I'd fixed this with a very thorough cleaning but it still happens.
Had some ducks land Saturday morning, took a shot and missed. Cycled the gun for a follow up shot and heard "click", had to manually cycle the gun 3 times to load the next shell in the chamber. Ducks were gone then.
Any suggestions to try before I just take it to a gunsmith?
