IS THERE A FIX FOR MY WINCHESTER X2 SHOT GUN IT WILL NOT CLOSE ALL THEY WAY WHEN I USE 3.5 SHELLS OR WHEN IT IS COLD MY SONS IS THE SANE WAY IT HAS BEEN BACK TO WHINCHESTER AN TO MY GUNSMITH A LOT OF TIMES IS THE SPRING TO WEAK NEED HELP A GUN THAT DOES GO BANG SUCKSI DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS THE PLACE FOR THIS DO NOT KNOW WERE TO GO WOULD LIKE IT TO WORK THAT ALL THANKS

hello ,,sounds like ya got a real problem child there ,,i think if i bought it new and was having the problems your having ..i'd be on winchester untill they made it right,,but i don't know how there handling there repairs since the company got sold out,,
,,it sounds like you have a tight chamber,,or your shells are a little fat,,do you have any problems with 3" shells or is the problem only with 3.5 shells?i'm not a fan of the 3.5 shells.. have you tried different shells ?different makers ?is it from the get go or after it's been fired a few times ?i'm not sure how deep the chamber is on these ,,have your gunsmith check the chamber depth to make sure it will seat the shells properly,,if the chamber is short then possibly the shells have to be forced into the barrel a little to actually lock into battery,,there could be many reasons that it isn't locking up..dirt or unfired powder buildup,,
a weak spring could also be a problem but if it's working ok with regular 3" loads then it's gotta be something with the shells or the chamber is short or tight near the crimp end were the shell seats..
just a few suggestions to think about,,a good gunsmith could do a chamber cast and then measure your chamber and see if the shells your useing will work without sticking going in,,thats just my 2 cents worth and proably the first place i'd check if i were having the same problem..also if you find out that it is a chamber issue i think i'd be complaining to winchester and have them fix it or replace it,,it should work properly,,and not having a tight lockup could present a problem if you have an accidental discharge..it's an issue that needs corrected,,

having 2 boys and all three of us shooting x-2's we have found that they need to be thorougly cleaned after 2 boxes of shells. sounds like your gun has some grease in it if it is worse when cold.
completely dis-assemble and wash in hot soapy water.
a couple of times with a scrub brush. rinse with hot water and dry carefully. re-assemble with some dry lube. it may take a few trys so that you get al the dirt and grease out of it. when you are in the field and shooting a lot, keep a can of gun cleaner handy and give it a few squirts if starts hanging up. Go back and degrease again once its really clean it will work fine. I was sure the guns were no good until someone had me get them clean. We recently shot geese for 4 days in Canada in the cold no misfires. experienced the same problems you had. get em clean and you will be good go.
