danbrew Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Have a new 11723 and took it out today for the first time. Went through a few boxes of birdshot, 8-10 rounds of 00, and a couple of slugs. All shot at 50 yds and was generally pleased. I get that birdshot (#8, I think) isn’t a great round for the purpose of this gun, yet I consistently had a failure to feed from the last round in the tube mag. Didn’t matter if I started with 3, 5, or 7 rounds in the tube. The last round would hang up in the tube. Any thoughts on how to trouble shoot? thx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbrew Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 Small point of clarification - the FTF was with all types of ammo - birdshot, 00, and slugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P. Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) Did you run it wet? Also, how’s your feed tube spring? Edited September 24, 2023 by John P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbrew Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 I put a very light coat of oil on the bolt and nothing on the spring. I did remove the spring (by taking off the +2), but reassembled the spring and the +2. I’m very confident I didn’t kink the spring or anything like that.

cas Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Did you try it without the +2? With the magazine cap off, and the spring just stuck in the tube, how much spring sticks out? (and if you're using a +2, factor that in. I've always used Nordic's suggested method... "On semi-automatic shotguns especially, magazine spring length can be critical for proper function. We recommend that approximately 16” extends past the end of the Nordic Components Magazine Tube Extension as a starting point." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbrew Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Quick update.- a little bit of lube on the bolt and a few hundred rounds through the tube and it’s working like a charm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NineInchNails Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Just out of curiosity, you said you installed a +2. Did you also get a new (longer) spring with that +2? If not, that is likely the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbrew Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Nope, LE version that came with the 7-rd tube. Ironically, I removed the +2 and Form 1d it with a 14” barrel. Runs like a top. Just needed some breaking in, I’d guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
