Savage 30D, wont hold shells in tube magazine! Help!

[jamesincanada]

Not sure why its happening but the shells wont stay in the tube causing it to feed and get stuck under the gate. I got this thing at auction (its actually a CIL 621 but the crossover is Savage 30D). Its not like a Mossberg where there is actually a shell stop arm thingy. What the heck?

If it is indeed a 30D, it should have a cartridge stop lever. See the parts breakdown on gunpartscorp.com, used to be known as Numrich Arms.
12ga part number is 117170A, 20ga is 399290A. They also have parts lists and schematics for this gun.

Looking at it again I see how that cartridge stop works. I see it stops the next shell when the action is to the rear. It cycles just fine. I just didnt understand how it worked. Thanks for your help. Still need to go fire it though.

Ya, its doing the same thing. It chucks shells and feeds improperly. Something is wrong. Fires though. Thats good.
