I know this isn't a S&W, but I am hoping someone on here might know something to help me. I just bought a used Winchester Model 94 Trails End, 45 Colt, 20" barrel, walnut stock. I haven't shot it yet, but if I cycle some rounds through the action like normal, everything works flawlessly, so far. However, if I go to unload it for instance, and leave the hammer cocked, there is less resistance and if you unload it too quickly often it will release two cartirdges into the receiver from the tube and one will get jammed under the carrier. Which requires removing the link pin and pivoting down the link to get the cardtridge out. If I cycle the action with the hammer decocked it has never done this so far, and if I cycle the action slowly it has never done it so far. But it doesn't seem right, and I am worried it could do it while shooting. Is this common? Should I not worry about if it never does it while firing? Thanks in advance.
