Can you reach the cartridge stop with a probe and move it manually?
I think you'll have to go inside and see if something has come adrift.
I don't have an Adler, but my Dickinson does not trigger the cartridge stop until I drop the hammer, simply cycling the action does not allow me to pump shells through the action without firing them, like my old pump-gun allowed. I haven't been inside it to see how the mechanism works. To unload the Dickinson I have to have the hammer cocked, and then I can manually extract the shells from the magazine by pressing the cartridge stop manually. With the gun empty, pressing the bolt release button does move the cartridge stop, but with even a single round in the magazine the cartridge stop doesn't move. It's a strange design.
