Chinese 97 help

[Capt. Augustus]

My Chinese 97 has had a problem feeding shells from the magazine from day one.  Any information would sure be a help.

I found a old Winchester 97 a while back and was having the same problem. I took it apart and found that the mag tube was just and bit out of round. With it a part I took a shell and dropped it down the tube and could see where it was hanging up and took a pair of pliers and crimped it back in shape. Feeds real good now.l
