[Bad day]

Ok so its not the end of the world, but I ordered some parts from Mississipi auto arms. Long story short, my tromix galil handguard doesn't fit (and I didn't do the best job trying to make it fit) and my agp 10 rounder doesnt lock into the gun. I understand sometimes some minor alterations are needed and I sent email to tromix about the handguard. However, Im not sure whats up with the magazine. What do you guys think?

[Problems cycling with factory S12]

Your three port gun sounds fine. As with most of the S-12 models , you will usually need a short breakin period. 50 to 100 rounds of a pretty stout 2 3/4 load , on number 2 setting, will usually do it. After the break in period the guns will usually run the mart mart loads from Federal that are sold by the 100 pack for about $24. If the gun will not cycle after the break in period, then contact me, or RAAC to start the warranty process.............................Tom(VK)

 

Thanks for the info Tom. I have continued my snooping around on the forum and am pleased to find such awesome knowledge as well as support from people like yourself. Thanks a bunch. -P.

[Problems cycling with factory S12]

Hi everybody.

My name is Paul. Im an enthusiastic noob who just got his S12.

I have been doing some reading on here too... in the hopes to "learn before you burn."

Today I took the gun out for the first time with three different types of ammo in order to test my gas setting:

 

Winchester AA Xtra-Lite target load

Winchester AA Light target load

Winchester AA Heavy target load

 

Here is what I learned.

 

Winchester AA Xtra-Lite target load-------> negative cycle on any setting

Winchester AA Light target load------------>negative cycle on 1, positive cycle on 2, but I get a stovepipe... every... single...time

Winchester AA Heavy target load---------->positive cycle on 1 with no problems, and 2 (because I made a mistake and cycled five rounds on this setting, probably not a big deal)

 

I opened the gas port system to further investigate and thought you guys might like to know that I have a three hole port system arranged in a triangle, apparently this varies from gun to gun.

 

Thats all I know.

 

Q: What year do you guys think my gun is and what do I need to do to fix this problem?
