Need some help Ben
I am working on one of my daughters Model 37 Ithaca 12 ga.
It jammed with a spent shell in the chamber. When I got it the slide was partially back. I have now cleared the chamber and the slide seems to move normally but I cannot move the slide release button on the side of the trigger guard. I have to pull the trigger to return the bolt.
I have done all the "normal" things and find nothing about this on the internet nor YouTube videos. I also have the "Field Maintenance Instructions", all 20 pages and that goes through tearing down the bolt---but never a word about the release.
If you have ever had this problem, I would surely love to have your advice
I have to say---taking these down makes my Model 12s a joy in comparison.
