remington 1100 problem

I have a remington 1100 3" magnum. When I shoot the gun everything works fine meaning it cycles fine and doesn't jam. However, after I shoot it I can't unload it without snatching the receiver several times. Once it comes loose it cycles fine as many times as you want to pull it, but once you shoot it again, it won't come loose without a fight. I don't see any visable wear, and the gun is clean. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

V35, 1100's are not setup that way... The stock is held on with a slotted head nut on the action spring tube in the stock. Steel on steel.
That will make for your problem.
Sometimes a sharp impact will do it on stubborn joints.
I would use an impact driver attached to 3/8 or 1/2" socket extension
with a spade bit on the end.
Wind up CCW on the impact driver and give it some solid blows.
you need three or four hands to do it.
Good luck.
If you succeed, use antiseize paste on the bolt threads.
when it was no big problem to swap out Luger mainsprings.
Lately, it's been a struggle.
Sometimes you have to be more stubborn than the job.
I did sell my anvil though.
Heavy tools will go next.
