Khan Pump shotgun

[MiniMe]

Hey TradeEx

I bought a Khan pump shotgun from you last year and it has a spring that keeps the action closed.
Would it be ok to remove that spring?
The guys at the range keep complaining my shotgun is always closed with only a plastic insert showing it is unloaded, club rules mandate to have it fully open when range is safe.

Thanks

Exactly....

I have the same gun and am also interested if the return spring can be removed.

 

[Dexter Morgan]

Get one of these types of chamber flags.

They keep the action fully open.

I have one of the Khan's with the spring.
took it out long ago, works like a normal pump now.

 

[EL34/6L6]

Is it a pump assist / enertia spring or something?

 

[Emmer]

Just an assist spring so you don't have to expend a fraction of energy to rack the slide forward, you can just let it go.

 

[GeoShooter]

Just take the spring off. Save it incase you want it in the future

What was the procedure to get it off?

 

[MiniMe]

I assume you just don't put it back when you assemble after cleaning.

correct.

 

[MiniMe]

I removed the spring and it works just fine.
Nothing else needed.
Go have fun

Thanks MiniMe, I've used up all the maxis I could find in the house and plan on replacing them with those chamber flags.
