20 gauge benelli nova pump

Gun shoots fine at first but today in the dove field is stopped ejecting the shells the extractor pulled back without the shell and tried to chamber another round. Get the fired shell out and the action will not cyce the next shell, it gets about 3/4 of the way in the chamber and the action jams. you can extract the fired shell or the partially chambered shell with your fingers they are not jammed in the chamber. makes no difference reloads or factory, 2 3/4 or 3". I have had it apart and cleaned it and when it is cold it works like a charm. This all started last year with some 3 inch steel loads but it has continued this year with the 2 3/4. It will cycle snap caps all day which has me leaning towards a possible heat issue?? Any help from the experts would be appreciated and thanks for the time

With a pump gun acting as you describe, always check the chamber for dirt, rust or in the case of chrome, flaking chrome. The 20ga Nova is supposed to have a chrome bore.

Check the groove in the chamber for the bolt head to rotate in. Make sure the groove is clean.

Then check your shell lifter for proper function sometimes a Benelli will go back together and not be right, causing the lifter to jam.

A pump is a pretty simple action to see what is going on. I really do not understand why a loaded factory shell will not just drop into the chamber, much less cannot be pushed home. Unless there is something in the chamber grabbing the shell and also holding the fired shells in the chamber.

The extractor will not pull a stuck fired case out of a chamber in most instances and the extractor will just pull over the rim. That is not unusual.
