Got mine today, so obviously i ran out and tried it!
Pretty sweet gun, about 32" OAL. (12.5" barrel)
I had a problem actually firing it.
After going over the gun i have come to realize what the problem is.
Im not 100% sure in shotgun terms what the slide lock is called (assuming thats right?), so that what im going to call it.
If you play around with it you will see that the slide lock does two things. Locks the slide, and makes the trigger NOT work when the slide lock is not fully engaged.
If you look at the long arm(1.5" long?) on it that mechanically locks the slide, you will notice that it is basically flush with the mag lips on the inside.
When I put the magazine in the leaver becomes hard to move (sometimes impossible to move fully forward, other times require manually moving it forward as the friction on the mag is much greater than the spring).
I can also see the wear mark on the mag right there to confirm that the slide lock lever (on the inside) is dragging on the mag.
With the lever not fully engaged (as the mag is either blocking it from engaging or keeping the spring from doing its job) the trigger will not function.
I dont have time tonight (and probably not tomorrow), so Friday i hope to take it apart see if i can bend the slide lock lever a hair more, or remove some material from the little dump that is punched into it allowing it to move towards the side of the receiver a bit more.
The gun dry fires fine without a mag, but with a mag in the slide lock lever does not move properly and it will not dry fire properly.
Note, DONT #### it then put the mag it, as the lever has already seated so it will function fine. You have to put the mag in then pump it (will have to hold the mag follower down so it thinks there is a shell in it so you can slide it forward again).
Anyone else having the same issue?
It seems like a pretty minor problem, the lever just needs to be moved towards the side a hair more. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and what you think/will try.
