i just picked one up from my range and can't seem to figure out where the O-ring comes from on the gun.

the instructions show a different gun from the company so the diagram it has doesn't work. they don't even show where it comes from, more of a parts list.

here is where i'm guessing it goes,

i ask because when i took it apart i couldn't seem to find any o-ring and i had trouble cycling buckshot rounds. (federal factory).

though it started cycling them a bit after 30 or so shots which makes me think it's just break in.




another question i have is about replacing the stock, does anyone know of any options? i find the grip is to large.

I paid the same at my local gun shop.
 
Thanks a million ISaidShotgun!

I guess it never came with one installed or more likely target sports or I lost it.
Hopefully it caused most of the feeding issues I had.

I paid 480 tax in from target, last one :)

My Only dislike is the grip is on the large size. Hopefully I can source another one plus some chokes and maybe the breach muzzle.
 
The fit and finish seems real good to me, the stock feels cheap though

The bolt release is good for quick loading of a shell thrown into the breech.

You can ghost load it for 2+5 but its a somewhat involved procedure.

i take it that was your video i saw on youtube? *had trouble with the 2 shell storage in the stock?

maybe i will make a video, but i will attempt to explain it.


1. load your shells in the mag.
2. put the mag cut off on.
3. pull the bolt back and lock it.
4. put a shell into the chamber all the way.
5. guide the bolt forward 90% forward (basically until the shell guide? goes back down)
6. pull the bolt back, but make sure it doesn't lock open.
7. drop in the 7th shell and push it down.
8. guide the bolt forward as you hold the shell down.
9. once it goes into battery, you need to push the 5th shell back into the mag or it will double feed.
10. use a knife, screw driver, etc to push the shell back into the mag untill you hear it click and see it moved forward. (you can pull the cocking handle out of the bolt and use that, then put it back in) you angle it on the shell guide .
11. unlock the mag cut off and fire away.



think that splens it. i haven't tried it with live shells, but i haven't had any issues with dummy rounds.
 
i was at the range today and tried the ghost feeding with live rounds and didn't have a single issue! and not a single issue with feeding now that there is an o-ring in place!
 
I got mine from SFRC , it's awesome. I also had a bit of a break-in but she runs great now.

Spawn-inc, sendmorebrains posted some pics of his mpa for me a while ago. His has an ATI collapsible AR stock installed with some minor mods, I'll be attempting the same thing once I order the stock. Maybe if you ask nice he ll throw um up again for ya...
