Stoeger M3500 HELP!!!

[Deerslayer17]

Hey all. I bought my first waterfowl gun around 3 years ago and it was the Stoeger M3500 12ga. Ive gotten into rabbit hunting with friends and my Stoeger will not chuck out 2 3/4 inch shell. On the side of the barrel it says that it shoots 2 3/4 inch to 3 1/2 inch. Do i need to take it to a gunsmith and let them work on it or is it something i can fix in the garage. Thanks!

I had the same trouble. After shooting quite a few box's through it, it finally would cycle. I believe it says something about it in the owners manual. This may not be your problem since you've had it for 3 years, but shooting mine quite a bit fixed it.

I had one and it would cycle anything I stuck in it. I even dove hunted with it. Do you have the recoil reducer installed in the stock. If you do you will have to take it out to get it to cycle lighter loads.
