Got it out to the range today for it's maiden voyage. Took a variety of ammo along from heavy Magnum 3" 00 buck to light 2 3/4" 7.5 target loads and also included 2 3/4" 00BK and some Magnum 3" slugs. Ran fine right out of the box with a couple minor glitches:
1. The 2rnd mag wouldn't feed the second round; mag problem, not the shotgun, as the mag follower is hanging up for some reason once the first round is fired. Will have to take it apart and see what's up with it.
2. Fired the 3" Remington Magnum 00BK fine, but didn't particularly like the Federal 3" version as had three FT feed with two different mags.
It did fire the 3" Federal slugs just fine. All the 2 3/4" Remington "Ultimate Defense" 00BK fired just fine. So after 30rds of 3" 00BK, 10 rds 3" slugs, and 40rds of 2 3/4 00BK I tried 25rds of the light Federal 7.5 target loads and each and every one fired just fine - no FTF or FTE's and bolt lock back on each empty mag worked perfectly.
Accuracy? It's a shotgun, it blew up everything in the general vicinity of what I was aiming at. The plastic sights seem a bit flimsy, but adjusted fine and seemed to hold their settings. This version has the front sight moved to the rail from the barrel end, although that one is still included in the kit.
So to sum it worked as expected, with the above couple caveats noted. I swapped out the door breacher for the Modified choke and it worked fine too - stayed in place and I like the cleaner barrel look personally.
2 mags of 2 3/4" Remington "Ultimate Defense" 00BK (inadvertently hit the bolt release early before inserting the second mag)
3 mags of Federal 2 3/4" 7.5 Target load
