  1. Nah. It is when you put shells into the magazine. The edge of the plastic hull that meets up with the metal rim can snag on the shell below it. Not an issue when you are starting the first shell. It get progressively worse the more you load in.

  2. Shoots great to be honest!? I think I shot like over 2000 shot shells last week between 12 guns. Everything from really old vintage Federal birdshot, to high recoil Black Aces Slugs, full plastic Activ birdshot shells, and everything in between. M4s ran great; my magazine fed shotgun was the only one that had some feeding issues. I'll try to take pictures of the inside of the receiver but kinda tough.

    I have all my shotguns greased pretty well, especially my pump shotguns with the forend.

    I assume you have seen my posts on my bolt being out of spec and causing the grinding/not smooth on my m4?  I also got a m1014, and that one is smooth as butter.  Did you check to make sure the ejector isnt rubbing on the bolt face, like mine was?  It make it seem gritty and not smooth in cycling . . .

    Yup. My ejector is fine.

    My bolts are sorta rough on the entire travel from chamber to end. Maybe I just I need to shoot it a crazy bunch to get the rail smooth.

  4. So I'll keep it short - last week went to the range with three new 2021 manufactured M1014s and noticed the action wasn't very smooth. After shooting, I took the guns apart and noticed the inside rail was really rough cut (probably the root cause of the gritty action).

    • For reference, I used to own a 1 of 2500 original M1014 and it was smooth like butter
    • Brought some older M3 Super 90s, a M2, and a custom built M4 and they were all noticeably better despite being shot very little
    • One M1014 was completely factory with nothing changed on it

    So anybody else have this issue?

    I've never heard of it. So it's just a full plastic shot shell? Anything else special about it?

    Nope not really. The shell was advertised to not corrode easily, but really the hidden gem on this ammo is the easy loading on single stack box magazines.

  6. I had a long range hiatus since I was traveling overseas for half of the year. Figured it was time to get some of the toys out for fresh air. I still need to find time to go again ? since I have a ton of weird ammo to use up and a bunch of shotguns that I've never shot before.

    What mag-fed are you running? I have a couple, Vepr 12 never fails, Kalash... not so much

    Valtro PM-5. Super uncommon shotgun.

    Went out to the range again today to test out a new 6.5 Creedmoor. Took the whole family of scatterguns:

  8. So I had some of these weird full plastic shells available on my latest range trip. From a quick google search they appear to be off the market for quite a long time.

    They ran in my Benelli M1014 fine, but the highlight was in my magazine fed shotgun. These loaded really easy compared to the normal brass/plastic shells since it is completely smooth. These didn't catch on the edge where the plastic and the hull met.
