I got my son a Mossberg mini bantam .410 pump shotgun and it is really hard to rack even for me. Does anyone have one of these shot guns and have the same issue?
Yes I think it is the slide. theres alot of friction.I would bet there is a problem with the action. The Mossbergs I have, have rather sloppy, for lack of a better term, slide action. I never had a break in period. Both mine are damn near 40 years old. If it's rather new, which it sounds like it may be, contact Mossberg and see if they think there is an issue. Maybe they can resolve the problem.
Contact Mossberg ASAP.Yes I think it is the slide. theres alot of friction.
