hello.i have a mossberg 500a shotgun.its worked good since i bought it but recently i cleaned it then cycled some shells through it.well when i pump it the shells just fall out onto the ground.every 2nd or third one might load but the rest fall to the ground.i have been taking this gun into the bush with me when i pick shrooms as a protection gun for bears.it gave me the creeps knowing i could have been in quite a pickle if a rogue bear came at me!any ideas what may be wrong would be appreciated.thanks.

not sure of the name of the part... but there should be a part that holds the shells in the mag tube. Not sure if there is a spring behind it.... but take a look and see.

I don't have mine in front of me, so I can't get a pic.... let me look online see what I can find
