Went with a buddy shooting last week and got some heavy loads to run through it. Winchester steel shot or something from Walmart and had some regular birdshot also. Both 2 3/4 shells, as I couldn't find any 3" shells in the minimal time I looked.
The first 10 or so rounds when it went to chamber one, the shell got caught on the lip and did not go in the tube. Pulled the bolt back once or twice that lined it back back and the shell went in fine and shot. After about 20 rounds the buttstock bolt came loose, so I had to stop shooting and do a quick range fix. Only shot about 10 more shells after that, as I didn't want it to come loose again. Plan is to take out the bolt, locktite it, and put it back in and the problem should be solved.
Overall, I am pleased with this gun and I think once I run some more shells through it and tighten the buttstock, it should work well.
