Kel-tec KSG is a great design. But you can increase the reliability.
When the pump is fully at the rear the last 1/8 is really hard almost impossible to stroke. Causing short stroke and failure to feed. If you don't go all the way back the shell lifter can't pick-up the next round.
Solution is simple cut the small lump over the slide release (just over the trigger-guard). Or cut a notch in the rear of the pump large enough to clear the lump and the slide release. 5-10 min work.
The KSG became so much more easy to pump all the way to the rear. The shell lifter can do is job; run all the way down to pickup a new round and lift it to the chamber. No need to push like crazy. And less risk to break the side of the pump by putting too much pressure
this one is not my picture but its the same cut i made.
