It’s likely lead. Difficult to remove. I had my entire barrel covered in it from shooting a lot of slugs. People have mentioned the cheaper slugs use a softer lead that will foul barrels more rapidly. Tornado brush and drill is a good way to go as mentioned.

Likely just a sad feature for this ammo. My guess is it’s got room to get smashed in there. I have not come across this problem

They’re legit if that’s what you’re asking. Can’t speak for what’s normal, but I have bought stuff and it all showed

I have a feeling you’re going to be just fine. Send it

The FFT handle I ordered sat flush with the receiver. Had I shot it, it would have dug a gouge all up and down the slide action

I’ll have to take your word for it. Never. Had the opportunity to see or try ot

Never seen a reliable shotgun that uses magazines. Seems like a terrible idea. Plus to hold 5 rounds you’re talking about a big mag. Just…terrible…

There is. It twists on and off. If it’s loose you may have to give it one more turn. The trigger housing will likely be a bit tighter to get in. Or leave it. The trigger group keeps it from getting dislodged.

Also passing on the likely scam

Yours looks like literal dirt or copper grease to me. Scrape that shit off, clean and oil it then send another picture.

Strangerdanger did some work for me on my M4. Price was fair and I was able to rest assured he knew what he was doing. Guy is awesome. Might reach out to him for your own specific needs and see what he says

No need to assume a choke. A quick look at the end of the barrel will reveal a cylinder with notches on the inside ring of the barrel or it will not

My experience is that the FFT shell lifter is garbage. If I would slowly move it I could get it stuck. I had many issues and tried to fix it a couple times where I got it to move like it should but eventually went back to rubbing. Put your oem lifter back on and see if it solves the problem.

I have both

I agree that this is likely not the common perspective and likely a moot point. Just my own 2 cents. I’ve had some trouble with parts and wasted some money throughout my journey of aftermarket additions. He asked about the actual user opinion so I felt compelled to share my own insight. I don’t consider any modification installed until I have functional checked it.
