Brand New to Canada: FS-PRO

[imalamoud]

Anyone get some rounds through their FS Pro this past weekend? Any issues? Running well?

About 70 rounds yesterday, buckshot and slugs. No problems at all.

Did you leave the original choke that came with the gun in just making sure I can use slugs in mine with this choke I just received my gun also

All the screws on my gun are in good shape and no rust

Same with me. All looks really good.

I have put 4 notches choke (modified) there. Cannot recall what the original was.

BTW, a basic clamp from Amazon fits pretty well and prevents tube wobble. I have removed the shroud after some fight with factory-stripped screws but guess it could be put back now.

Do you need to remove the barrel shroud for the clamp to fit? thanks

I removed the shroud as I like the cleaner look. But the shroud is of soft metal. I suppose one can slightly bend it outward at the clamp placement spot and fit the clamp under.

For all the cheapskates... you can get this clamp with sling swivel from AliExpress for $11 plus $10 for shipping ($10 for no swivel). The Amazon one with swivel bought separately is $37.

Only downside ordering from Ali is you will be forever spammed with silencer-not-silencer tubes for sale if the last purchase was in any way firearm related....

Anyone have trouble removing the charging handle after getting the gas system and forend out of the way?

yes...
So its not just a detent like most removable charging handles.. you need to pull it back slightly to line it up with the disassembly notch in the bolt.

I ordered both the FS pro and FS Elite. Both are quite nice. Everything looks quality. Interestingly the FS Elite has a different folding mechanism lock - not sure if its better or worse than the FS-pro, just different.

One thing I have noticed that the front sight on both of these isnt straight up and down but rather canted to one side. Not sure if its supposed to be like that. One is more canted than the other, but both to some degree. I am using a red dot anyway, so I am still pretty happy with these.

Yeah, my front site is a.little tweaked as well. I put on a red dot and the dot isn't aligned with the front site. Not really a big issue on a $500 shotgun, but would be upset if I had this issue on $2000 to 3000 dollar shot gun.

How are your shot guns running? Any issues? Round counts?
