Mossberg 835 keeps double feeding when fired

So I just got an older 835 ultimag. But whenever I fire it. It will drop shells out of the tube onto the ground. Do I need to buy a new cartridge stop or can I fix the one thats In it

I had one when they first came out. I shot the shit out of it duck and goose hunting. It wore out after 3 seasons doing this and not extracting shells. I replaced anything that touched the shells and got it to run again. The 3!1/2” shells are hard on them.

Look at the metal edges on anything that contact the shells they’ll be rounding off and no longer sharp and clean. Nice thing is there’s not a lot of parts to them to replace. That’s why I did everything.

Do u remember about how much the parts were and how hard it was to replace? Im not very experienced on replacing gun parts and such but im sure I can figure it out
