Mossberg 702 issues

[yaris0128]

So today I decided that after 13 months of owning and shooting several bricks of ammo through my 702 I decided to take it apart and clean it. It cycled very poorly and sounded like the bolt carrier was covered in sand. While putting it back together I managed to bend 2 coils on the recoil spring. This was super bad news since I have major upgrade plans for this rifle over my weekend. I was able to somewhat bend the coils back to shape enough that my guide rod would pass through it and into the bolt carrier. Finished putting it back together and it cycled just fine. Big sigh of relief. Wasnt sure about the spring I decided to cycle a magazine of rounds to see if it would perform better after the cleaning. Now the extractor is barely kicking the rounds out and causing a jam EVERY round. I know that the spring cant possibly have caused this... the extractor is able to operate just not well. I dont get it any ideas for my cheap walmart .22? Ive got dual mags, a scope and a camo painted stock in the works this week. I dont have time for a broken gun.

Here is the site to download the manual if that would help or to send the gun in to the factory for repair.

I just had a similar problem with a Mossberg 930 12 guage semi-auto. My fault though. I had changed the barrel and left gas piston and ring seal on the other barrel. The gun would fire but not eject the shells sort of like yours.

Hope you get it fixed.

I'd tear it down again and put it back together. There's always the possibility that something was put back either backward or incorrectly. I know I've done it before.
