Had my shotgun checked out and the gunsmith said it would be okay to shoot if I shot low pressure shells. It's a model"O" serial number 106403. Anyway I did shoot a couple of winchester low base shells and everything worked okay. I ordered some Federal shells from Midland. Took the dog out grouse hunting. he put a grouse up in front of me. The gun shot just fine no recoil. Of coarse I missed the grouse. But then I could not open the gun. Had to quit hunting and come on home. Finally got the gune open. The federal shells expended enough on the base so as to not allow the gun to open. Then checked all of my federal shells. The high base shells are all tight in the chambers.
