Thank you, I really liked the one I handled those were just some initial thoughts and questions.
Answers as follows:
1) can the buffer tube be replaced with AR15 buffer tubes to get more than 3 positions? Yes it can
2) can the safety be replaced with other AR15 safeties as I found the safety too small/thin. We don't know as we have to know dimensions
3) can the bolt release be replaced as I want to run a BAD lever. No it cannot
Thanks for your business!
Sorry no plans for pinned 10 rounders. the 5 rounders are already the size of an AR-15 mag
That's unfortunate. .. but they are available, simple matter of going through irun guns or prophet river and paying the 200 or so bucks. If there are a bunch of people interested In getting a couple of those mags and want to split on the import cost I would be in. Even order a few extra to throw on ee ... I'm sure they would sell fast.
Hi TI, I got my MK 1919 Gen 2 out for the first time today and was having some trouble with rounds not cycling properly. Cleaned and lubed last night. After about 25 rounds of target ammo it was cycling okay with the 5 round magazines, but on the hunting 2 round magazine it was consistently failing to eject and load the next round when there was 1 round left in the magazine. Shooting with 1 in the chamber and 2 in the magazine it would cycle fine the first shot, then on the second shot it would not. Are the springs in the hunting magazines ... springy-er or something?
If your using the Winchester universal target loads then that's your issue. Mine wont cycle them either. I found some challenger target loads at Cabelas that work well in my gun. they say high velocity on them not sure if that makes any difference
So I took a very close look at the mags and saw that the follower on one of the hunting magazines was sitting maybe 3 mm higher than on the other magazines and thought that could be the problem: it wasn't. In fact I was wrong about the mags being related at all. I was out at the range today and tested 5 different factory ammo loads. 3 out 5 worked flawlessly in all mags (hunting and regular). 2 out of the 5 wouldn't properly cycle with one round in the magazine; as pictured above, it would get jammed in before the fired hull was fully ejected. No idea why it's being picky with ammo, but it is. I guess I'm most annoyed over having nearly an entire case of one of the loads that isn't cycling (the Winchester SuperX Heavy Lead Load).
These two would not work:
These three worked perfectly:
(Sorry about cluttering up your thread, I really do like this shotgun, but finding out which ammo it can eat has been annoying).

I'd never used Winchester SuperX shells before. Oh well, live and learn. I can give the rest of the case to my brother for his pump. Yeah, the blue box Federal surprised me too. Gotta stick with the higher velocity red box it seems. The Remington Express Long Range worked really well, but I can't find anyone that still sells them (I bought that box at LeBaron in Montreal like 5 or 6 years ago).
That crap don't even work in my buddy's bps pump... they get stuck in barrel and near impossible to pump it.
I find challengers work ok in my 1919
