Use very little oil especially on the mag tube. If an Auto 5 kicks hard its 100% either the rings are set wrong or you have too much oil on the mag tube causing the friction ring to not be able to do its job

I’d make sure the breech of the barrel is barely visible though the ejection port. If too far forward from forearm wear, can break the op handle or worse. Bad:

So should I make sure the friction rings are set up for heavier loads like below and see if they'll cycle the low brass target loads I'll be shooting? If it doesn't put the second ring on the receiver side of the spring?




I've shot a pump 870 my entire life. Never owned an automatic so this is new territory for me.
