I am not an expert shotgun mechanic, but, I have learned that, no matter what is wrong with an autoloader, the first thing you do is clean it. Not run a swab down the barrel - detail strip it and clean every part.
When the gun is totally clean, lightly oil and reassemble. My experience has been, barring an obviously broken part (which you will find during a total stripdown cleaning), 90% of the time, whatever was wrong has disappeared, and the gun works fine.
