Browning Maxus - trigger issue

[Newf]

Anybody here shoot a Browning Maxus Autoloader? Ever encounter a trigger problem?

Mine has developed some sort of trigger freeze problem - when it happens, its SOLID. As if the safety is on but it wasn't...at this point it seems almost random, I'm not trapping the trigger as it has happened on the first shot. I've confirmed the safety is off cycled it a couple times to make sure and it stayed "frozen".

However if I cycle all the shells out of the gun and reload it seemed ok for a few rounds then came back. It happened 2-3 times on a goose hunt yesterday. I was not impressed in the least...birds locked on and landing gear down...flip the doors open on the layout blind and nothing! Not even a "click"!!

I was shooting Remington Hypersonic shells, so they have the power to cycle the shells fine, The gun is clean, but i'm going to drop out the trigger group and give it a once over to make sure theres not a piece of crap stuck in there someplace.

Some Google searching tells me its fairly common with the Maxus, but I've haven't found out yet what the fix is. Until now I've really liked the gun, but when it doesn't go bang when I want it to, it looses my admiration real quick.

Planning to call Browning on Monday and see what they have to say.
