SOLD OUT: New and Improved HG-105 Bullpup 12GA

Sorry if this is not the correct place to be asking but I have a few issues with my new HG-105 and wanted to know if any others have experienced similar issues. Please note I have not had a chance to shoot the shotgun yet as it recently arrived and I am holding off doing so for now until I find out about these issues.

The first issue is the charging handle, it appears to not be connected to the spring that keeps it in the forward position. The end result is if the bolt is not forward, such as when it locks back on an empty magazine, the charging handle flops around all over the place. I can see the spring I think should be pulling it forward but I have no idea how to re-attach it to the handle. There is also almost no room to work in the very small space containing the handle so even if I knew how to attach it I am not sure I would know to get into the required space. Has anyone experienced this and, if so, how were you able to fix it?

The second is that I cannot remove the barrel from the receiver as the instructions say to do for disassembly. I have removed the front cap, handguard, the two nuts (one that comes off counter-clockwise then the one right beside it that comes off clockwise) and then moved the takedown latch/switch so it is pointing down (perpendicular to the axis of the bore) but I still cannot seem to remove the barrel from the receiver. I have tried just about everything I could think of without using tools, something I don’t want to do at this point to a brand-new firearm. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what was the cause and how did you fix it?

Any input would be appreciated. I am hoping these are things I can correct myself as paying to ship such a large object back to TI for repairs after zero shots fired through it is not appealing. Thanks in advance! Regards,

Was this addressed? I like guns that work.
 
Had a unexpected slam fire on mine when the bolt closed on a round already in the chamber, always keep in safe direction and be careful, otherwise awesome shotty

I got in contact with TI and they have been great. After some over the phone troubleshooting they had me return the rifle to them (at their expense) and they made the needed repairs. I am currently waiting for the shotgun to make it's way back to me via Canada Post. So far I have been impressed with TI's handling of the situation and will update here once my repaired HG-105 has arrived and I have had a chance to test it. Based on the fact no one else replied to my earlier post asking if anyone has had similar issues I am under the impression my issue is likely a rarity. Regards,

Just the update I promised in my last post, sorry for being so late with it. The shotgun arrived back (ages ago, it is my post that is late) and it appears all the defects have been addressed. I can now easily field strip it to clean and the charging handle was fixed. TI also threw in an extra mag which was a nice touch. Thank you TI for your quick and professional service addressing this issue. Regards,

Who are the stocking dealers ....yes nice looking shotgun..yes %100 ...but pictures are one thing and holding one and touching it ...shouldering it is another
I always have to go on a road trip down south to look at interesting new toys to possibly buy...
Ya I’m on the fence about one of these
Dame look sweet
How do they compare to the other bull pups ...the fd one and the Canuck..and what ever others
Thanks for the opinions
 
Talked to the service department at tactical Imports and got it figured out. I have to say...I talked with both sales and service at tactical Imports at they are great to work with!

Would you be able to share what the issue was?
I'm in the same boat, but did not buy from TA directly.
Upper is off, both nuts are off (right and left handed thread) and the bolt release button is in the down position as per the owners manual.
It's like someone glued it in there it will not budge.
