I had the same problem, if you will, when I first got my H20 and asked the same question here and found all shells are not created equal.

Took the M4 back out to the range. Sorry for the long intervals but being TDY hurts my range time. Anyway, I took a few different shells this time. I started with box of Federal 00 and it went through that like butter. Next was a box of assorted shells. A bunch of bird shot and crap like that. The gun was flawless. Next, another box of the Remington LE low recoil. If got through more of the box this time without a FTE but I did get a few. I figure the gun is starting to loosen up and the Remington isn't all that great. All in all I am very happy and love this gun.

I was cleaning today after shooting it and did give it a good lube. I looked for anything that said "made in the USA" but didn't see anything. I pulled the control group out and looked at it too and didn't see anything. I didn't break down the group but did look. I looked over the mag tube and didn't see anything there either. Anywhere you want me to look or take a pic of let me know. Please be specific though, I'm new to this gun and not always sure what people are looking for.

I just took the H2O out and did some shooting. I was dumb enough to only take 1 box of shells out. The gun did NOT like the Remington LE Reduced Recoil at all. I put 20 shells down range and only about 5 ejected properly. All the others I had to manually eject. I'm hoping its just the Remington shells. I've heard the Federal Premium is better and plan to try that next go around. Anybody with any input I would be glad to listen. On a side not my Colt 6920, P245, P226, Remington 870 20GA and Glock 26 fired flawlessly.

Okay, thanks for the advice guys. Turns out the gun will take 7. My Federal Premium LE (LE132 00) was too long to fit 7. I tried a bunch of different game loads and all was fine. I then tried some Remington LE Reduced Recoil (RR12BK8-00) and 7 of those just did fit. So, I guess I'll just live with the fact the the Federal is too long. Thanks again for the heads up.

Renaissance Firearms and I paid just under MSRP

I tried this and nothing changed. The spring stuck out about 8 3/4" from the top of the tube. The gun is advertised to be 7+1 so I can't see why they would cut a longer spring to reduce capacity. Maybe my spring is just messed up?

Maybe I'm having a senior moment but I can't get but 6 shells in the tube. The box states 7+1 and I'm using 2 3/4" shells but that 7th shell just wont go in. It's close but just not there. Any ideas?

Renaissance Firearms, he said he ordered a few from his dealer but only got one in.

I just picked mine up today and am very happy!!

No, they just handed it over.

Funny you ask, I just checked my box sticker and it looks to be a whole new sticker with nothing under it like in the other post. I will take it back apart tomorrow and post some pics.

I had a M4 before but life got in the way and I had to part ways with it. Since then I have been wanting another badly and when I saw the M4 H2O I just couldn't resist. I'm happy and can't wait to get this gun out and shoot it. The gun is beautiful and was configured exactly as I wanted so I have nothing to do but enjoy. [ATTACH=CONFIG]1338[/ATTACH]
