    I went out yesterday to shoot a few clays, it was super cold and after about 10 shots the action started to get sticky or tight. Is this normal, I clean it after every use,
    It's never happined before but this was the first time I used it in freezing temps

    Used to have one of these.Until it was stolen!
    She's warming up on you and the action bars are beginning to expand
    and are starting to stick in their grooves in the aluminium reciver.The bar steel is very mallable and should be harder.
    So either slow down with the shooting,or figure out somhow to "pre heat " the gun..:p
    Winchester advertised these as an extremly fast shooting pump which they were ..Sadly Winchesters quality control and POS materials and assembly let it down.
    The pump mechanism is the weak spot in these guns.Where the action bars join the tube that is in the wood grip there is a hideously weak spot weld or proably even some sort of super glue to secure the action bars.:(
    Had the whole mechanism disintergrate on me once.Got it brazed ,and they were slightly off centre so the mechanism was a tad bit stiff anyway.
    But it served as a brilliant identifier when I last saw it in a Garda station cut down and wrecked 15 years later.:mad:

    Should also have added.You will see on the bars where the blueing goes away to bare metal,thats where it is frictioning on the reciver guides.Try to keep them oiled as much as possible without being silly about it. Its proably easier nowadays with one of these wonder teflon oils to do this.
