smartbomb 133 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 (edited) had a chance to run the 20 underfolder today. if you recall i picked it up used and the previous owner did something to the gas reg. i had to use a 18" breaker bar and some heat to get it loose. anyway, i went ahead and did a romy uf mod. when i assembled everything the gas reg will not thread all the way in. basically its a wide open gas system. before i did anything else i wanted to see how well it shot. picked up some fiocchi 3" target shot. i figured this was as middle of the road as you could get. holy freakin cow!! cycled a full box. zero ftf's, zero fte's but a shitload of fgt's everytime i squeezed the trigger. word of caution. i would not suggest the folder on anything more than the 20. it is very persuasive. i have another trunnion and folder that is begging for a 410 build.

smartbomb 133 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 (edited) Very cool.... Wanna practice on my .410 i would if i could. i think the feds would frown if i did. iirc i can do thing to mine, but not anyone elses firearm unless i was an ffl. if i am wrong someone correct me. in reality you can do this your self. the folder was not hard. the most difficult part was getting the balls to drill a big f'ing hole on both sides of a perfectly good shotgun. once your past that...its a piece of cake.
