    The reason I asked (although after having a play after opening last year and haven't touched it since), I sharpened the extractor mirror polished the bore with autosol and a minor fiddle with the extractor grooves on the barrel.
    With the falcon ammo I have on hand it would reliably leave the case in the chamber. It would even put a dent in the bottom of the case trying to pull it out so it was having a fair go. Can't remember if the bolt got stuck or it would come back on the first try or not
    Falcon trap ammo didn't do it at a clay shoot a few months before but there wasn't a lot put through it.
    Either the chamber is poked or its the ammo. To be fair inhale had an offer from a very good forum member to go out one day with him and try one if his barrels but I'd like to know if ammo might be worth a crack.
    I also haven't gotbaround to getting the micrometer and telegauges out and comparing it to my other shotties
