Nice moves with the shotty! :)
-
Good practice. Snap caps?
-
You're a stud Ken, keep it up man!
I can really see you fighting to keep your eyes up too, which is important.
-

nah just regular rounds loaded on already fired primers without the powder in there aswell. they are getting beat up kinda quick so i may just get some alluminum snap caps.

yeah at this point i want to watch what im doing so i get it right more often. im not really sure what the proper thing is as far as keeping your eyes on the threat area with a shotgun. the first style reload im doing in that video wont really be used much. its a reload for an empty gun in an environment with no more immediate threats...so bassically that would mean all hell broke loose... i couldnt keep the gun topped off.. all the bad guys are dead... and now im doing that reload. one in the chamber, then flip it and load the mag tube.
the second video or the second style reload in the first video aswell is an emergency reload and would be also ive wound up with an empty gun and now am loading directly into the chamber each time and shooting at my threat. on that reload i can see keeping my eyes on the target as important and also realistically possible while remaining reliable on my reloads. that will come with more practice. but again im not sure i dont want to atleast watch the shell go into the chamber. more monkeying around will beat out my final product of what that reload will look like.
now the one reload i havent shown in that video because i havent decided on what it should look like yet is the topping off as i shoot reload.
i know there are ways everyone does these things but i like to go through the learning curve on my own and decide for myself what actually works for me.
so right now the two things im working on are in what situations do i load from the side saddle or when to load from my person, and what that topping off reload should look like... if anyone has videos showing that reload id be interested in seeing them.

Nice shotty work, Ken! Keep up the good work man! You're Beast!
-
thanks for the support EJR and everyone :)

Coolio- Not a shotgun fan, myself. Liked the vids nonetheless.

-
Awesome APX thanks man! is it alright if i steal your glock pic aswell? i have a 23 so its the same shit in a picture really.
-
hehe yes Kentactic, you can use the glock too, no problem
-
well i finally shot the 870 today and we thought wed try to do some filming too... but it went shitty... so my buddy thought it would be a hoot to just try and make me look as stupid as possible. he did a great job too... lol
heres the video:
Edit: link fixed (video was fucked up)

wtf is up with those empty shells sticking in?
-
wtf is up with those empty shells sticking in?
thats what i want to know. it seems to do that every time on the last round.... not to mention the action jamming after ever 5th round in the beginning... it stopped doing that towards the end but i went against my better judgment and went with this damn remingtom.... im giving it the benefit of the doubt for being brand new but if it dosent start working right soon its going to get replaced and executed by a real gun.
-
The tactical jumps at the beginning were hilarious :D
Those sticky shells are something weird
-
It seems its very common to have extraction problems with the 870... these threads surely will help you Kentactic

haha yeah... i was doing it to be funny and then i looked at my friend and laughed and said did you see that and hes all "see what?"... lol then later he obviously saw it and was like wtf.
as far as the failure to eject shells deal... i was thinking i may have been short stroking it... ill have to shoot some more to confirm the theory.
EDIT: yeah upon further inspection theres no way im short stroking it to cause it to not properly eject. this gun be fucked up.... damn remington and there horrible quality control. two problems for the price of one shotgun... i could have save money and went with a mossberg and had no problems... oh well...

yeah i knew going in to expect that remingtons were piles of shit... i went against my better judgment and bought one anyways... if it turns out im not short stroking it then ill go in search of a gun problem.. and as far as the jamming action it started to clear up toward the end of my shoot. so if that dosent clear up ill polish the chamber.
-
Yeah, then after that you'll find out they have the huge rust problem...I didn't know that before I bought mine, otherwise I might have looked at a Mossy or not have bought one at all.

I found mine rusted because I had it stored inside its case, now I keep it outside and I never saw it rust again.
I was told that the padding of the case absorbs air humidity and that helps rust formation, plus the forearm movement seriously damages the blueing.
Shottys need dedication :D

Mine rusts a little, and it sits openly on the shelf, in a closet with the door open. It's not too far from a clothes dryer, so some warm moisture gets there, but it's not bad at all. I have a Springfield M1A sitting beside it, and have yet to find any rust on her. I looked online once after wiping the rust off my 870, and found a post someone made about it. He said that Remington uses a certain metal when manufacturing the 870 that is prone to rust. It's happened enough to me (especially since I really don't touch it at all), that I believe his post.
-
Same happened to the barrel on my Benelli. I put a light coat of oil on it, and never had a problem since.

If it's a brand new gun make sure you still break it down and lube that biatch!

LUBE? what is this a damn finnicky ass AR or a damn pump shotgun... lol .. this 870 is a picky little bitch it seems... "no i dont like that ammo, keep me lubed or ill jam"... lol fuck that shit..
-
how bout an update, you still got problem with that 870?
-
well it seems as though the jamming has been corrected aswell as magazine tube problems... i was still having some issues with the shells not fully ejecting clear of the chamber but only on an emergency reload where perhaps im not racking it all the way back (short stroking it). so that may be a user error so ill have to do more testing.
-
Also ive modified my Emergency reloads to be almost identical hand/arm positioning as to that of a standard pistol reload... its pretty cool. ill make a video once i get settled in at the new place some time in a week or two.
-
I didn't watch your vids but do you have a mag tube extension on the gun?
The spring may be to long. Alot of company's use one spring length and you have to cut it to the number of shells your extension holds.
I have my spring a little over powered so when it breaks in a couple years it will have perfect spring tension.
If i pussy foot racking it back and don't get it back all the way 1 out of 20 times i'll have a problem.

yes it came from the factory with a mag tube extension. the springs correct to the gun. the problems not extracting a shell out of the mag tube into the gun to be chambered. the problem is ejecting the spent shells clear of the ejecting port so the bolt can then close on a new round. essentially something similar to what a pistol malfunction would call a stove pipe. but like i said i may be short stroking it. if the action isnt moved all the way to the rear with a decent amount of force then the shell wont hit the little dimple hard enough or at all and the shell dosent kick out. so like i said i need to see if im short stroking it by really focusing on slamming that action back when i do my emergency reloads because thats pretty much the only time i run into the problem. when im normally cycling the gun it works pretty good i think...

Great video man!!!!!!!! You are a beast!
