Alright guys, I could use a little help please. I bought a used 835 a while back, and I knew there was an issue with the gun when I bought it. When you eject a shell, the forearm wants to stick a little when you shift it. If you don't eject it hard it wont stick, but if you eject it hard and fast it will " hang up - stick" in the rearward position. I thought maybe it was because the gun was bad dirty. Well I tore it down today, and gave it a good cleaning, but it is still acting up. I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions? Thanks for your time and help.
Chcek to see if forearm is hitting anywhere on either side of the receiver.

i appreciate the suggestion Hevi. I just went and checked it out, but I have good clearance on both sides. I think I may have got it figured out though. After I put everything back together I worked the action several times, and it was still sticking. Well I just went to check the forearm clearence, and it wasn't sticking anymore. I guess after letting it sit for a bit the oil did what it was supposed to do. Thanks for your help sir.
After owning 2 835's, I torn down both guns and clean the reciever and made sure everything was functioning right. I did have some feeding problems with my other 835 but after a good reciever cleaning, had it functioning perfect. Noticed something though. The forearms tend to crack right where it slides over the magazine tube. Gorilla glue works just perfect.
