Norinco 97 trouble

[Beano]

Just picked up a used norinco 97 and  I am having some issues with it. What happens is when I pull the action back everything works great but when I try to close the action it binds up and I can close it but i have to really force the pump to close it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Check for burrs or if it is not lubed well this well cause those kind of problems. Check for any binding as well.

1) make sure you are using 2.75" shells. 3" will cause problems

2) try Winchester AA or Remington STS shells.  They are both smooth side shells and these Chinese scatterguns tend to run better with them. (especially the Chinese '87).
