Where did you pick yours up from?

Hey there,

I picked up one of these based on Plink's original review and it does not disappoint. Really excellent value for an autoloader, I'm impressed!

One question: would I be able to use the (front) sling plate for an 870 I've seen for sale at theammosource and other places? The sling swivels it comes with are pretty chintzy. I have a VTAC sling on it with the butt strap.

If those don't work I could always get a rail mounted sling swivel at the front of the handguard I suppose..

Thanks for any info!

I just picked one up and I have a question. When I assembled it after cleaning, I noticed the gas piston wiggles inside the gun. If the bolt is open, then you can really hear it slide up down the magazine tube. Is this normal? I read the manual and checked several youtube breakdown videos. I can't figure out where I could have gone wrong.

I picked mine up from Scot as well, very happy with the process.

Still looking for a good front sling mount option so if anyone has any info..

Also I had it out today and had a really weird jam that took a while to resolve. Somehow a shell managed to come out of the magazine when I was loading it and got stuck under the shell lifter but above the bolt release. It was a real bear to unjam that, so be wary of that.

Apart from that one hiccup the gun has been fantastic and cycled everything I've thrown at it. It really kicks out spent slug/buckshot hulls with authority, they go damn far!
