Help, Remington 1100 fails to feed.

[RamRoddoc]

I figured it was just dirty, needed fresh springs or dirty and needed fresh springs.

Cleaned replaced action spring still not feeding properly, then changed the magazine tube spring and still no dice.

It fails to feed with nearly all of the shell out of battery. A slight press on the carrier and the bolt slams home and fires. It fails intermittently and I have tried several types of ammo to no avail.

Anyone familiar with this issue and any corrective action?

Press slightly on the carrier and the bolt goes into battery.

Double and triple checked gas rings and o-ring and correctly installed.

Just a thought I have seen them not work right is there was a tiny speck of rust in the chamber or a chunk of burnt powder in there

Not that crystal clear and clean several times.

Is the shell not lining up properly or is the carrier hanging up?

When jammed (FTF), I press upward on just the carrier then the shell shifts a smidge and the bolt slams home.

Have you tried pulling the bolt back and manually charging the gun? If it still does not it could be a bent elevator pinching the shell slightly. You could look at an unfired shell to see if it has been scratched.

When you pull the bolt back it locks, if a round is in the tube, it pops out on the carrier and depressing the button on the carrier releases the bolt, it catches and goes into battery no issue. When firing, it will jam at least once or twice with 4 or 5 (one in chamber) loaded shells.

It jams on the second or third shot and might run the next 2 or 3 shots.

Sounds like a gas issue then. I know you checked it but if it ain't that huh?

Yes, I just looked closer at the photo and the right tip of the shell is catching the chamber edge.

Bent carrier?

Yep, one of the first things when I broke it down and did a good cleaning and lubing job. The gas tube flows air freely. The rings look a little worn but not bad and the o-ring seems good to go.
