Had an interesting thing occur with this Stoeger on the weekend (haven't had the opportunity to shoot it prior) Fired initial 10 rounds a month ago with no issues,
Sunday went to a "3 gun" match and used the Stoeger first 5 rounds were fine after that on letting the bolt return it wouldn't pick up any rounds out of the mag tube. Racked it a few times and no good, chamber was empty so went to the safe area to try and sort the issue with out any luck. One of the older guys turned up and had a look and it was the bolt release lever sticking and stopping the rounds coming out, had to press it internally and all the rounds exited obviously under spring tension. Tried it later on thinking it may have been a one off but same thing, so packed up the gun for the day, it's now on it's wat to the importer for warranty work.
Has anyone had this or similar happen?
I'll try to explain what occurred, so prior to pressing the bolt release (under the ejection port) the release is parallel with the receiver, once pressed it releases the bolt like it's supposed to but the release button stays slanted in towards the receiver (which blocks the mag tube assuming its meant to so only 1 round comes out at a time) there's no play in the button, however if you press near the screw that holds it in place it under tension goes back to it's original position but if you release finger pressure it tilts back towards the receiver.
