4BFamily Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 My beloved Supersport kept failing to go into battery today at the skeet range. Gun has been flawless for years, never so much as a single hiccup. I'm guessing between 2,000 and 4,000 rounds. Gun is clean, and both springs seem to be the same strength as the M2 and the Montefeltro. The only thing I haven't done is to disassemble the recoil spring, but I every other cleaning I run a patch down the recoil tube.So should I go ahead and replace the recoil spring and the interia spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halwg Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I don't have an answer to your specific problems but would like your thoughts on how the 3 guns, Supersport, M2, and Montefeltro compare. I have a Montefeltro, have shot various Supersports at the clays range, and am thinking about purchasing an M2. It would be nice to see how you think they compare.

StrangerDanger Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 You certain it isn't an ammunition issue? I'd tear down the receiver extension and clean it out. A new spring would be a good idea too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benelligunny Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Springs will last a very long time but the guns wont operate if they are dry of oil. Oil the bolt rails and the recoil assembly, not just a light hint of oil from a Q-tip. No dry lubes, no graphite. Militec, Breakfree CLP or any good quality fully synthetic oil.

4BFamily Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) The Monte is a 20 ga, and my wife and oldest son (14) use it now. It's a super auto. If I had to carry one of the guns over a long walk it would be my choice. The M2 is a tank. It's my youngest's duck gun and he shot competitively with it last year. The Super is the easiest to clean and my favorite to shoot shotgun sports with. The long length is offset by light weight so it moves pretty smoothly. Might want to add an endcap weight to steady the swing, but that's comparing to an O/U and not another auto. Best thing about all of them is ease to fit to an individual. Shims and pads make them great guns for all. Could be ammo, but is out of same lot we've been using for months. Have seen issues before;out of round or bulging ends. Will order new spring; if I have to remove end I might as well change it. Edited January 6, 2014 by 4BFamily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
