XX2T Pump Action Tactical shotgun 125.00USD in Canada

Got mine last night. It's very hard to cycle as I think the pump grip is making contact with the receiver. It takes virtually all my strength to push the pump forward - I'm fairly certain it'll be a quick fix.

It looks like my Benelli extension will fit but I've got to cut it down a bit.

Same with mine. I took it apart, wiped it down, oiled it and did my best to cycle it 20+ times. Still very hard to cycle.

On the one I received, there appears to be something weird with the rear portion of the rail - the "bolt" or pin holding the rail to the receiver doesn't have a head (like the flat head of a screw). There appears to be a post in the hole not holding anything. Almost as if the bolt head broke/fell off. I didn't take a picture, but if someone could take a pic of theirs for me to compare, it would be appreciated.

Put through 20 "target" slugs at 25 yards last night. Had to move the rear sight all the way to the right and still it's hitting an inch or so left (Score low recoil competition slugs). Thinking about putting a red dot on it.

Hopefully after a few 100 rounds the action will cycle better. Good news is all rounds went "bang", safety works, and mine holds 5+1 2.75" shells.

I'll check mine when I get home.

I plan on cutting off the portion of the pump grip, that overlaps the receiver when the action is open - I do this on most of my pumps anyways.

I'll let you know how that goes and about my rail screws.
 
wasa,

The rail on top looks to be a 3/8 dovetail with a Picatinny rail slid over. That screw, that looks like it’s missing its head, is actually an Allen key set screw - it’s just how it looks. Nothing wrong with it.

Thank you! I appreciate the information.
 
I sawed off a good chunk of the pump grip, sanded it down, and it looks nice.

Now, with the action open, there is no overhang of the grip over the loading port. It cycles much easier.
 
I got both mine today..fore grip is rubbing a bit on the barrel and on the cartridge tube
But most of the resistance is the bolt slideing on the barrel tang??
No mods needed it will smooth out after 200 rds
 
I got mine and I have the pump resistance, too. I disassembled as much as possible but couldn't get the trigger group out because whoever put mine together at the factory slammed one of the trigger pins too deep and I can't drift it out :/

I found a layer of of carbon? buildup on the bolt end of the action bar so I scrubbed that off and lubed her up the best I can. The shotgun came dry so this smoothed out the action but there's still some resistance. Looks like something several dozen rounds will clear up. For $220 shipped to your door, you get a lot of shotgun for the money so might as well get one.

Other notes:
- Aluminum construction so light weight.
- Metal trigger, follower, front sight, magazine cap, front sling swivel, scope rail and parts of the rear sight.
- Front sight has a red fiber optic that's not very bright but works.
- Polymer handguard, trigger guard, parts of the rear sight and stock.
- Stock features rubberized grip and butt pad. Both are pretty supple with lots of compress.
- Front sight is screwed in.
- Scope rail is dovetailed in and retained by a screw in the rear end of the rail.
- Removable flash hider. Manual says it's threaded for Beretta chokes.
- Mine only came with one sling swivel at the end of the mag cap. Different from what is pictured but I don't care.
- Classic Turkish pump shotgun layout and parts so nothing special here.
 
For the haters, move on, nothing to see here...

a0jc gave a good overview of the features, so I wont repeat.

Received mine today, MY72Jeep and I opened it up and checked it out at his house before my wife found out about it. Like others, mine has an incredible stiff pump when trying to close the action. It was very very dry and I took it home to disassemble. My mag cap was on so tight I could not loosen it by hand. Looking closely at it showed that it had been tightened with a a toothed tool like a channel lock. Used a rubber strap wrench and got it off, reassembled the same way but forgot to check to see if it had a detent ball . No issues with getting my trigger guard out, lubed everything up and back together. Mine did not come with a sling stud in the stock, and the one in the mag cap spins like a top.

I had a bunch of old 3 inch lead duck loads from the 70s to get rid of, so perfect time to try it out. Started with some 2 3/4 inch shells, no issues, fed from the magazine ok, no fail to fires. The recoil from the 3 inch shells in such a light gun is very noticeable and hard on the wrist and the bottom of the forestock can be pretty abrasive on an ungloved hand when doing multiple shots.

I had some issues when shooting with the 3 inch shells. When feeding from the magazine, sometimes a shell would tip nose down and wouldnt feed into the chamber. When the muzzle was elevated slightly when pumping the action, there were no failures to feed. A couple of times, the recoil was so stiff that the pump jammed back far enough that I couldnt pump it forward without exerting a lot of force. I had a couple of light primer strikes and fail to fires near the end of the box of shells, by opening and pumping back a couple of inches, and then closing the action, the shells fired when the trigger was pulled.

Going to take it apart again and look at the internals, maybe do a little judicious polishing here and there.

All told - fired 30+ 3" shells, 10 of the 2 3/4" shells. For $240, would I trust it as a personal defence or bear defence shotgun? No. Do I trust throwing it the ATV gun boot and bouncing it around and potting grouse in the fall with a Benelli choke tube in it? Absolutely! Very light and handy length for being in the bush
 
We have gotten spoiled over the years with cheap guns like this. I would have paid this much if you handed me the whole thing in pieces in a bag 10 years ago.
 
Both mine are very tight as described above and one also had the tight mag tube nut that looks like it was threaded on with vice grips..

I had to pull the barrel it looked like the tube was slightly ovalled, I ran a flat file around the threads to knock off the high spots and a half round inside the cap a few passes once that was done it threads on a lot better,

I touched up the scratched up aluminum cap with a sharpie.
