[New Ethos FTF/FTE]

Update on my Power bore (US Ethos). Had the cartridge latch mechanism replaced, it looks quite different from before. Cycled 50x 32g(1 1/8oz) flawlessly. Need to try lighter loads yet. Did have a bit of an issue with one cartridge however (i was using 65mm cartridges) and it ended up jumping over the carrier guard and jamming between the ejection port and chamber. I will continue to use it and provide updates for anyone interested.

[New Ethos FTF/FTE]

more pics... From the previous post you can see the red shotshell stuck in the receiver.

In the pictures here below you can see the barrel removed and where the shotshell (pink) gets stuck and fails to feed (FTF). The last picture shows the inside side of the receiver where the shotshell rubs against.

 

It would almost appear to me as if the SPRING and CARRIER LATCH (that keeps the second shotshell in the magazine tube is to stiff and pinches the second shotshell against the inside wall of the receiver as it is trying to feed it into the chamber of the barrel...

 

Any ideas or help would be appreciated, please.

Hi Cameron,

 

Are you still having issues with this? I have the UK equivalent of the Ethos, the Rafaello Power Bore and have exactly the same problem as you. I put some 32gr cartridges through mine (50 albeit) and had 0 failure to feed. I don't understand why a 32gr works flawlessly and a 28gr doesn't when the problem seems to be a pinching between the walls of the breach and carrier latch? (Not sure of the US imperial equivalent). Did you get the cartridge latch changed? I might send mine in to have it changed.

 

Thanks
