so far i have about 600 rounds through mine, i got it last month and i love the thing,
as far as mag issues, well just don't pound it in there and its fine. the mag drops free with the press of a button and it goes into the rifle just as easy, 2 fingers slight push and it clicks in place, sure you can beat the mag and rifle all around like your some tough guy GI-joe, but there is no need, just pop the mag in a go. With a full mag, the weight of the mag will click it self in place with the rifle upside down, that's how little force is needed to seat the mag, DONT beat on it. In the first day of having it i jammed the mag into the bolt, and then thought to play with it and see how little force is needed to seat the mag, you will be surprised
and for feed issues i hear about, well with the stupid door breacher choke and the most open choke that comes with the rifle will give you issues, the first 10 shots i fired through it when i got it were the blue challenger target loads, all 10 didn't eject or stove piped, so i thought "how to increase pressure while using the same ammo" and then thought to change to the most closed choke that came with the rifle, since then i had not one issue and ill list what i have fired so far thought it,
after the first 10 challengers messed up and i changed the choke there has been NOT ONE cycle issue
ive fired these issue free-
240 2 3/4 challenger target loads No 7.5
100 2 3/4 federal "field and range" No 8
100 2 3/4 winchester super x lowbrass No 4
50 2 5/8 Sellier and bellot 00 buck shot
about 50 random high and low brass from a old box of random 12g shells 2.75 and 3" [mostly federal no5 classic duck lead loads"
ive loaded mixed mags that were stacked like, No8 target, No4 lowbrass, 00 buck shot, No5 highbrass, No7.5 target, [every shell was a different color]and emptied the mag no issues, recoil even felt the same in them all
so really i have 550 accounted for but when i but when i brought it to a friends we used his ammo and i believe it was 2 boxes
i have yet to clean this rifle, i wiped out the chamber before the first shot and that's it, since changing the choke, i cant find ammo that doesn't run flawless, and the mag issue is gone now that i know how much force is actually needed to seat it,
i shall go clean it now though, its brand new and its not a 100 year old rifle like everything else i own, ill keep it new lol
