BronCobraJet 80 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Has anybody had this happen? I haven't fired my S-12 yet. I just got my MD Arms drums a few days ago and decided to file and fit them. The drums are fantastic! Very high quality. Anyway, had the bolt carrier out and everything, had the shotgun lying upside down on my lap while I was filing, test fitting. Got the first drum done, then about halfway through fitting the 2nd drum, I noticed the mag retaining pin was sticking out about 1/8" or so. I tapped it back in so it was flush on both sides, but it still likes to try and walk back out from inserting and removing magazines. Is the fix just a larger pin? The drums ended up fitting rock solid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Some of them are loose like that. One of mine used to move but I used a hammer and a small punch to tighten it up on both sides. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
