I have had my gun for about 4 years. i do a lot of trap shooting so i really dont need it to cycle much and i clean it every time i get done shooting it. I just got back from North Dakota where i did need the gun to cycle and i just about threw the gun in the pond. The gun pretty much turned into a single shot. It is a really nice gun if it works on you. but Browning needs to do something about the gun. Good thing i had a solution to the problem a remington 870.
