Could be firing pins puncturing the primers or it could be the chambers are a little tight and the brass is swelling after firing. Dean is right: contact the seller and give him an opportunity to address.

If the problem was the result of the shotshell or primer being used he would still be able to move the lever fully to the right. Mr Weidemueller tells us that the lever will move only slightly to the right.

Barrel chamber shell rim cut may not be deep or wide enough causing head space to be too tight when gun is close.
Had the problem with a 16. Recut and deepened the rim cut and all was fine. Bob Jurewicz |

Also, if the gun will not take down with forend removed, which is likely because the lever won't move, the gun will need to be placed in vise with padded jaws on top of barrels and bottom of receiver. Tighten very very slowly till lever moves to open.

Thanks to all for your thoughts and suggestions! I took Bob Jurewitz's advice and put the gun in my vise as he instructed. Slowly,very,very,very, slowly, tightened the vice with pressure on the lever, Voila! It opened. There were two spent cases in the gun from the same new box of Winchester Low Recoil,Low Noise Target loads--except one had a brass head, the other a silver steel head. It was marked "lite 9", something Id never used. I remember noticing it as I loaded the gun at #5 skeet station, was puzzled at the silver color, but shot my birds with it anyway. I should Have known better--that's when the gun jammed closed. When I retrieved the shell the silver case rim measured about .010 thicker than the brass. Thanks again Bob! |

Check the auto safety. See if it has full and free travel.

Bob J was spot on. I've had to do that to my Repro28 a number of times and have a D-grade and an older JD Dougal that have the same issue. It has NOTHING to do with the power of the loads. The issue is oversized and out of round extractor rims on the shells and/or rim recesses in the bbls that are undersized - at least for the poorly made shotshells made today. Old paper shells would likely work fine for you. This issue has been discussed on the forum here a number of times. You'll find that Winchester ammo has the most out of round rims. You can easily test this by putting a shell into the rim recess backwards and seeing if it goes in at all and if will rotate. I think you'll find some shells will not even go into the recess. Try shooting Remington STS shells. My D grade will digest those all day with no issues but hangs up on AA's constantly.
