Richard,
I have a 12 ga Repro Magnum that did exactly the same thing last year on an October Manitoba canvasback hunt. It only stuck the first time the gun was open, same as yours. It also seemed to stick on the coldest (not wettest) days. I squirted some gun oil inside and worked the action and safety. I even took as much of it apart as I dared. After a few days it worked fine and I have not had problems this summer on the skeet range or up north this past month. So I am not quite sure what I did....(how's that for help?) but lube and working the safety seemed to work for me.
Regards, Steve Kleist, Ely, MN
