  1. Thanks for all the help. I did buy the gun new maybe 30 years ago but put it away until about 4 years ago. I also did put in a lighter lever spring recently, and it does seem to have a tiny bit more give (hard to tell). At the breech I can put in a 3mm feeler gauge.
  2. The gun is box stock - only changes I have made are adjusting the safety so it doesn't come on when opened and I put in a lever spring that is lighter. What should I look for on the lugs?
  3. As a side note the play is up and down. Does that mean hinge pin or locking lug problems?
  4. But is there a way to measure off face and determine if it is too much (or getting there)?
  5. I have begun to notice with my Stoeger Shotgun that it had some play at the breach. The gun fires fine and doesn't pop open after firing. But I was wondering what affects the play at the breach, how much play is too much and can it be measured with a feeler gauge at the breach?
  6. Have had good luck with Mac tech brass but last weekend 3 of them split length wise. Maybe because i shot them in a different shotgun. I also resize after each use with a CH sizer, I have found that after about 3 to 4 reloading they start to stick.
  7. I recently acquired a number of 16g gas seals from BPI on the chance they could be forced into a 20g Mag tec brass shell, and as it turns out they go in with only a bit of effort. So, I was wondering if any of you have tried 16 plastic wads in 20g brass shells? I was thinking it might speed up reloading a bit and produce a better pattern if I didn't have to use fiber wads. Let me know your thoughts.
