TORKIT

Sorry to hear about everyones loss, I'm glad I never sent him mine

I replaced both main springs on mine with softer performace springs, now it feeds bird shot, put a buffer pad in it to be safe.

Not sure if this will help but I had to do this to 3 shottys so far, I found the front of the trigger assy was hitting the reciever edge and not allowing the trigger to reset all the time, remove the trigger assy and trim the reciever edge with a dremel or file.

OK here's what will fix it, replace both main springs with performance springs from CSS, no more FTE's with low brass. And they're only six bucks each.

After I did all of the above mods and was still getting stove pipes "FTE's" with low brass I ended up tuning my recoil by replacing both main springs with performance springs from CSS, they are a much softer spring, now it finally works, also made a recoil buffer pad but its not needed for low brass.

Low Brass federal.

It never gets old looking at Paul's work, I think it would be cool if he shined up an entire s 12, all the metal parts, but i'm not sure you'd be able to look at it without a welders helmet lol. Paul what is the procedure to send you a bolt and payment, I'd like to do it this winter when I don't shoot much. Didn't know Cobra did bolt work, Cobra lets see your work, maybe I'll send you my bolt since Paul seems to be very busy, or do you just fix the functionality of the bolt?

RED LOCKTIGHT.

Have you replaced the main spring yet? CSS sells a softer performance spring for six bucks, I had to replace both main springs to make mine work great, so order 2 just in case.

Is is made of steel or aluminum? Weight?

Ya thats what I thought, I spent alot of money and time to fix such a simple thing, mine is not the only one, my best friend had the same problem, we put my spring assy in his s12 and woohoo it shot his 20 round drum mag with no stove pipes, and this was low brass, I made a recoil buffer pad out of a mouse pad its just a a 1 1/2 inch by 1 inch pad with a big hole in it, slip it over your spring at the rear where metal meets metal, or buy one for ten bucks. Changing the rear spring requires knocking a pin out and it may not be easy, mine was, my friends was a bitch. And you can always put the

When you get done trying all that and it still stove pipes, do what I did, get 2 performance springs and replace both main springs, they're softer springs, I know what your going through I've been there, carrolina shooter supply has them for 6 bucks each, now mine is 100% reliable. One way to know for sure is put the buttstock on your hip and if it works then, well you know its a recoil issue, put softer springs in and it'll work, I've polished, ported and prayed, but the springs fixed it. GET THE SPRINGS.

After doing all the other mods 1st, my last resort was to replace both main springs with weaker/ softer performance springs from CSS, now it feeds low brass, I also made a recoil buffer pad, there 6 bucks each.

I agree, I have put about a 1000 rounds through it before I went with the springs, now it works.

I already have another topic on this but I'll chime in, I put 2 performance springs from CSS on mine, replaced both stock springs, now it has half the recoil and NO FTE with bulk low brass.

I'm not a big guy so it makes sense it fires with the stock on my hip and not my shoulder, thats why i said weak shoulder. I have a auto plug, so if I want to shoot hi brass or slugs I can just put the other spring in, not all of these are the same, my friend has a S 12 thats works great right outta the box, but this was what I had to do to feed cheap ammo, and I will continue to swap springs just to make sure, but as of right now it kicks like a 7.62 and feeds every round and thats all that matters to me. another

TWO PERFORMANCE SPRINGS FIXED IT...Everyone in here has had a stove pipe/"FTE""failure to eject" before doing mods, I finally got mine to feed walmart fed 2 3/4 bird shot, but I did all the normal mods 1st, ported the 4 ports, opened the gas block hole, installed performance gas puck, and PERFORMANCE SPRING from CSS in the front, dremel rounded the carrier corners and hammer corners and hand polished with mothers till it was like glass, same to bolt and rest of carrier, still was stove pipe'n unless I put the buttstock up against my hip, then it would work great, but on my shoulder it would ja

Plumber's my best friend of 25 yrs, its a 2012.

just put an E-clip on it.

Its a new gun, the fastest way i found to speed things up was to get some Mothers polish from autozone or wherever, rub your bolt and carrier for a few till the yuck comes, then clean and lube, gota remember around 500 rds to break it in. Then you go tothe next step, which is enlarging the ports and block, its a piece of cake.

280, I can't have one made for that, i'll pay it.

fix it yourself, i did.

randrtargets.com has mid comps on their shotty's.

\ JTE ejector or guide rod assembly not sure what its called Wat is that?

Best purchase I've ever made thanks Robert.
