flyer91 4 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) Has anyone been able to cycle 'any' low brass shells in their 1919? I haven't broken mine in yet, but it would be good to know ...... assuming you were successfull ...... what shells did you use, and what mods (if any) have you done to your 1919? I see a good price on Federal Game-Shok, 12ga, 2 3/4", 1 1/8 oz, #7.5 @ 1,255 FPS for $6.20/25 round box at Cheaper ...., but I'm not sure it it's high or low brass, or will/won't cycle in a new 1919. (????) I have a lot of 00 buck, and riffled slugs .... but would prefer to use less expensive shells if they will work, and as usual ... I'd like to order in bulk (500 rounds min.) to get the best deals/shipping. I'm hoping you guys can help steer me right on this ........

compshootfl 40 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) I strictly use Winchester AA Super Sport Clays, 2 3/4", 3 1/4 dram,1300 fps, 1 1/8 oz, 7 1/2 shot. They have been foolproof so far. I have also used the 3 dram/1250 fps with the same results. Edited July 30, 2012 by compshootfl 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bulldog_shotgun 47 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 mine had a few cycling issues, at first. but i did some work to it. and it cycles anything now, including the cheapest loads. even out of my drum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Syndicate 812 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I used low brass target loads the first time I shot it, had some feed issues for 20-30 rounds and then it started clearing up and was fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flyer91 4 Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yup .... running the heavier loads for a bit did the trick! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toothandnail 275 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 We are having 3" feeding issues , runs about 80-85% , really crimping the shell , it hits the top of the chamber and jams the bolt , putting a crimp in the shell about 1-1 1/4" down from the top , on the bottom side of the shell , against the bottom side of the chamber/barrel. Almost ALL 3" shells have this crimp , most go ahead and feed in though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FoxHound 3 Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 i've had mostly failures. Very dissapointed so far Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toothandnail 275 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I should add 2 3/4(CHEAP bulk pack) run 98% or better, occasional stove pipe , even less a double feed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KIRCH76 12 Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 hey toothandnail how much longer do you think we are looking on the production of those high cap. mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The AAs, even the 1200 fps ones, seem to run fine though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toothandnail 275 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) youtube videos is are uploading now. This was RANDOM ammo I picked up off the ground , while ROing a 3gun match , loaded in my 1919 . Had ONE , FTE , it was a pink top flite??? I thought I had all 4 mags loaded full ,guess I was distracted by my REAL reason for being there Anyway the second set were full. Second video , I had the other RO shoot it , ALL 4 were full , 48 rounds , one double feed ,2 failure to load. The one failure to load had been STEPPED on and was an OVAL , like I said they were picked up OFF the ground. Edited September 11, 2012 by toothandnail Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The AAs, even the 1200 fps ones, seem to run fine though. Shot another couple hundred AAs today through my Firebird mags, both 1150 and 1200fps ones and not a single jam with the 1200 fps ones, not even in the older Gen 1 mags. The 1150s were flawless in the Gen 2s, but the new mag springs seemed to slow down the bolt too much to strip the top round off of the Gen 1s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
