Thanks for the link! Back to getting the gallon of cosmeline off...
wait, wait, wait......You got a manual?
Best advice I can give to you is buy yourself 8 litres of mineral spirits and build a cleaning tank(will last forever). I constructed mine out of a 4" ABS drain pipe aprox 36" long and added a 4"x2"x4" Y connector where the 2" is a Y and placed a 2" to 1 1/2" reducer with a twist in valve and a washing machine hose attached to drain the mineral spirits when done. Capped the end off and screwed 'er down to a scrap chunk of wood for stability. Strip the gun down to the nothings throw the bits and bobs into a bucket of spirits soak 'em, brush 'em let dry. Fill 4" pipe and place frame/reciever on a steel coat hanger and lower down for a thorough soak, you can soak the sheet out of it, and all cosmo melts away. Let dry and then oil the sheet out of it all and put it back together. Mine now runs just as smooth as my trusty 870
Drain the spirits and filter through cheese cloth and it's very re-usable.Enjoy

Pulled mine out of the box today. Cleaned it up, Racked it back 3 or 4 times to insure smooth operation and the extractor broke off. Fml.

Hmmm.... the wife is going to kill me if I start ANOTHER side project before I finish the washroom, but... do you have any pics of your contraption?
I have my hands on some fancy CNC machines and have already spotted some deficiencies which I plan to make some one-off parts for. When everything is done I will post and possibly sell copies if the interest is there. For a cheap shotgun I will obviously try to make cost as reasonable as possible (material + .5hrs of time?) if there is any interest.
Now you are talking,check first to see if the 870 parts will fit but I guess most will not, I will be in for some improved bits!

Sure thing, will post up here
Working on the washroom eh ? Strangely that's exactly how I requisitioned the "extra" pieces I needed for my rig lol. Sadly I must admit downstairs bath still isn't finished

Put it on you-tube would be the best way.
Daaaamn! I had problems with ejecting also during my last trip to the range, what did you do to fix this?
I think I figured out my problem with my ftf's. I went through it quickly last night and I guess I missed a fair bit of the gunk they come packed in. That, and the fact that sat in -15 in a truck for a few hours probably caused the problems. I'm going to clean it out again tonight and try it out this weekend.

I havent yet. I wonder if an extractor from an 870 will work? I bought two of these, one broke before it fired a single round and the other one has so many problems I dont know where to start.
I may just junk these guns. could probably be fixed but it seems like a slippery slope, I dont need to invest 15 hrs into fixing a 89 dollar shotgun.
If you're gonna junk them I'll gladly take them off your hands I'm from P.A. and could arrange pickup. Pls pm
Cleaned it out tonight with brake cleaner and realized how much I missed. Did a few dry fires and it sounds a lot better. I'll report back tomorrow with the results.
