Sandman1957 Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Friend of mine has a street sweeper that has the magazine jammed (with ammo in it). (I have not seen it, he just called me).I am completely not familiar with this gun. Have never seen one in the flesh. He wants to know if there is a good NFA armorer anyone recommends? He is located in Eastern NC. Thanks in advance,Sandman1957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG08 Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Well, with ammo in the gun, you cant ship it. there are several things a guy could try, but disassembly of the gun will be needed.. Pretty much hard to diagnose or trouble shoot without haveing the shotgun in hand though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) And the fact that you have to pull the trigger to advance the cylinder. Not a well thought out design. ETA: Make sure the spring is fully wound, place gun on safe prior to pulling the trigger. Do all of this, of course, while pointing firearm in a safe direction.

johnsonlmg41 Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 While true that the cylinder advances with a trigger pull, when on safe the hammer does not fall (read should not fall, so be careful) . The rear cover on the drum comes off fairly easily and the whole rear of the drum is accessible. Is it specifically a streetsweeper or a striker? I have a number of them and they are pretty easy to disassemble, there are some manuals on line, and I could post a pic of a schematic if I can find it. There is one NIB here somewhere? Cool item from a panic stricken era, that is relatively harmless compared with current day non-nfa shotguns. As to who works on them, probably not cabela's and as stated with it loaded, it' a big problem, but any reasonable smith with a copy of the schematic should be able to take it apart easily. We're talkin' cobray, not Hotchkiss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman1957 Posted November 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'll ask him to bring it to where I am so I can take a look at it, and take photos. I know he has to take it in person because of the status ie in battery. Once I know what we have I can post more specific questions. I figured there has to be a way to take it apart safely and unload it. He did mention he could not get the magazine to rotate. Thanks for the input, will post more after I have better more specific info and photos. I have a guy who I trust who I am sure can fix it but he is in Williamsburg VA. A good three to four hours away. CheersSandman1957. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
