I’m having problems with model 1148 .410 jamming. At first when he brought me the gun it jammed every second shot .I looked at the shell latch, someone had been grinding on it so I got another one and replaced it. Now it will jam every shot with the fired case half way out the chamber. What should I check for.
OK the MT is half way out of the chamber, but where is the bolt? Is it all the way locked back or is it still holding onto the case? Do the usual stuff right off the bat, polish the chamber and fit the extractor. Also you may want to polish the mag tube so the friction system works on it smoothly.

the bolt is about half way back but the case is not on the bolt .the other shell is trying to come up from the bottom. I am a student I passed the pistol smithing class I’m working on the shotgun course now. I’ve been reading some of the other messages do you work for Bob?
Answer:
Yeah, I have had to serve under the grumpy old guy for several years. I say grumpy old guy with tongue in cheek as he is great to work with and work for. It sounds like you are getting into the area of the course where Bob will go into long recoil operated shotguns, i.e. Browning A-5, PAY ATTENTION!
This is important, learn the A-5 and the rest will come A LOT easier. Watch the course and tell me what you think the problem or problems are with your gun and we will work it out.

I think I got it today. I checked the ejector and it was slightly rounded so I squared it back up and it seems to work good. I shot several rounds of 3” shells through it today. He also brought me a Savage model 745 can’t wait to start on it.
