Dan Sierpina Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Pardon my ignorance, what is a Type 3 malfunction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightflight Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Sees Sights. I have never had a malfunction with my 930(knock on wood) I am just trying to be prepared on anything that could happen during a match or a defensive situation.

lightflight Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Dan - A type three is essentially a double feed. the round in the chamber is not extracted yet a new round is attempting to be chambered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerburgess Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Mine hasn't done that to me, but my first inclination would be to turn it port down and rack the bolt to get the one on the lifter out then rack it again to hopefully get the one out of the chamber, I suspect that it wont be that easy to fix though, if the action cycled far enough to put a round on the lifter it should have ejected the empty so if it din't I suspect there is probably a issue with the extractor that is probably going to continue being a issue.

dauntedfuture Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I suspect the fired round in chamber type of malfunction is most always caused by ammunition. Most of the time this is the aluminum capped shells that will do this. Al does not expand and contract as well and sometimes the extractor will let go keeping case in chamber, the bolt cycles and attempts to pick up another round. My M2 took the head off a WIN bulk box ammo last fall at blueridge and locked the gun up. Winchester told me to pound sand and refunded the price of the remaining ammo. No more WIN bulk ammo for me. To clear in a benelli you need to remove live shell and attempt to rack bolt, if this does not remove shell, remove spent shell with a tool. In other shotguns, they will attempt to pick up another shell from the tube so you after you try to rack the spent shell out and retract bolt all the way, you will pick up another shell, remove this and try a tool to remove case. from chamber. This can be avoided most of the time with a brass case hull and clean chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 This can happen if when racking in the first round, you inadvertently hit the shell release. You wind up with one round fully on the lifter and a second one half in the magazine and half on the lifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziebart Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I don't know about the 930, but in an FN or SX3 which I have, you can prevent it from trying to feed another round from the tube by holding the carrier up slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Yes, but you have to do that FIRST! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike cyrwus Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 it must suck to be a righty and have to clear this on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidgun Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 So I would rack the slide back and hold it. Turn the gun port side down. Drop the round stuck on the lifter and then rack the gun. This sounds right in my head but I don't have my gun right now so can't test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerburgess Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 one option with the 930 is to just stuff the one on the lifter down and close the bolt over it (Ghost load) then rack the one out of the chamber. but realisticaly any way you deal with this it will be a cluster when done on the clock.

OscarMike Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 With a double feed out of the mag tube I just hold the bolt back, reach my booger hook in there and push the round back in the tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good, but remember, the rounds in the tube are pushing against both rounds, It would be nice but they don't just drop out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhunt91 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I actually had this happen to me during a match with my 930. It sucked but I did get it out on the clock. Local match What I did was pull the bolt back with my left hand and dump the gun over to drop the second round. What I did next i had no idea if it was legal or not but i did it anyways. While still holding the bolt back I partially kneeled and put the but of the gun in my hip. Next out came the trust assisted auto pocket knife. Used it as a make shit extractor, Ripped the other round out dumped it and dropped both the knife and the shell on the ground. Pointed at the knife in warning when I dropped it, Shouldered the Shotgun and kept right on going. Didnt end up with a penalty or anything at the match. Everyone was like wth firtst time iv seen it done like that on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
