    Need recommendations on someone to check out an old Ithaca m51 for me. I changed the recoil spring hoping to fix an issue, and now the bolt doesn’t lock back and it doesn’t pull a shell out of the magazine when racked back. Any advice appreciated.

    Thank you. After posting this, I trimmed down the recoil spring and it’s now functioning properly 60% of the time. So I’m assuming it’s due to that so I’ll try one from a more reputable place. Thank you
