added photo to the OP.

Hopefully, the gas/choke wrench was included with the purchase. On mine, the difference between the 3 inch duck load setting and the light trap loads was about 2 turns of the gas sleeve.

it came with the box (they had assembled it which was nice), gas wrench, 3 chokes, a duck plug, the pictured soft case and the manual with this super useful diagram in it.

recoil springs especially

I used one for the Turkish asena zr7 and it worked fine. Slightly smaller diameter in the spring but functions perfect

These are an excellent shotgun. Only thing that ever jammed mine was a combination of ultra-cold weather, lack of cleaning and thin-rimmed shells. Sometimes longer 3.5-inch shells didn't feed well either. But otherwise? BANG BANG BANG, dead ducks everywhere.

 

[conclusion]

I find with the plug in I can't quite load three 2.3/4" shells, and have to leave one on the loader, a bit finicky but doable, just feel like I'm being stiffed on technically allowed capacity. I suppose I could 'modify' the plug...

The plug is supposed to limit magazine capacity to two rounds for waterfowl hunting.

magazine capacity is only two?? I thought it was three. that's kinda ridiculous, there's already a daily bag limit, why do they feel the need to also make it harder?
