First off, I apologize if my vocabulary is not correct. I am just now beginning to hunt and shoot skeet. I hope I am clear enough in my problem to get some help.

My magazine spring and plunger seem to extend too far out whenever I release the slide. The cover on the bottom is not able to recess back into the gun and thus I can�t load shells into the magazine. If I work the plunger a little with a shell I can eventually get it to slide back to a �normal� position and get the gun loaded up. I�ve heard this is a common problem but I do not know how to fix it. I�ve tried to oil the plunger really well but it doesn�t seem to help. I�m considering trying to find replacement parts and replace the spring and plunger, but wanted to see if any one knew if this would fix it or something else would work.

Thanks for any help.
