That one is available at Atlantic right?

Ok, I just read a lot here that said 3" isn't good for it. If that's not the case then the auto plug it is for sure.

Oh, while trying to avoid the buffer as long as possible, is there even a plug that will allow me to moderate my gas?

Oh, to cover that gap, I made sure to get crap in there, I let it marinate. It functioned for 2 mags then must have become overwhelmed. About the autoplug, I hear it isn't recommended for use with 3" shells, and I use LOTS of 3" shells, so I think a V-plug or something manually adjustable will have to do.

Yes, would that make a big differencer?

It didn't gum up from the gas ports, they were fine. It was so much mud and carbon and grease gunking the recoil spring. It was difficult even pulling the carrier back enough to chuck a shell. Now comes the spray can blasting of the entire gun.

My bad, bulk pack bought at walmart.

Well I took it out yesterday to see what's up. It ran good, but I decided to throw it in the mud for the 3rd time without cleaning it ever (emphasis on ever) and I actually got it to gum up with birdshot. So 300 walmart bulk, + assorted high brass, + being thrown in the mud every 100 rounds and getting extraordinarily dirty every time WILL slow a S12 down. But not with buckshot.

Yes, I would like to know as well, and would they be durable?

I should have specified Walmart bulk pack. I'm going to take it out another time to see what it does.

My recent conversion went well with my gun handling Federal birdshot like a boss with over 400 shells through it with zero malfunctions. The only FTE I had was in the first mag when I had it set to 1. But having it set to 1 for some slugs, I forgot to change it back to 2, and it ran 100% from the shoulder. Then messing around me and my buddy were hip shooting it. Realizing it was running from the hip I bumped it for 2 mags with zero failures. Can I contribute this to a break in period? Or is my gun horribly overgassed? My last S12 never achieved this kind of reliability with many many

Too bad you don't live in Washington, I just bought my EAA 2 months ago from a shop for $649. And they have a metric poop ton more.

Kind sir, I am interested in your machine

Well, I hope that isn't the case, seeing as how I just pounded on my gun. Haha, whatever, it seems to have worked.

Alright, it's mostly straight now. I kinda overshot it a little the first time, so there was sopme trial and error for a minute or two. But woo!
