semi autos

[tillylamp 1,830]

hi,

can any body advise me on the most reliable semi autos on the market? what im meaning is,the ones that take light and heavy loads.

 

i already have a mossberg semi and it only likes heavy loads,it jams with lighter loads, why does this happen? can anybody help.

older beretta semi auto guns ie 300,301,302,303, winchester 1400, will work with lighter loads, some guns have adjustment for light and heavy loads

mine will chuck out owt from 32g 6s to 2oz loads in 3 1/2 inch shells no probs.mine works on the amount of recoil others work on gas i think.

[scarecrow243 24]

ones that adjust use the gas piston they have different ways

If its gas operated a lighter spring on the magazine tube should allow it to cycle lighter loads. For my money the no more reliable better value semi auto on the market then a fabarm. I've had two, the guy i shoot with has 1 and 2 other guys in our club shoot them. Never had a problem between us. Cycles all loads.

I've had most of them but the best and most reliable I've had is the Fabarm XLR. I'm Left handed and the only ones made now are Hatsan, Benelli and Fabarm. The worst one I've had was the Benelli, back to the importer twice for jamming(never cured) and rusting of the barrell. I also have a pal with a M2 and he has rusting problems, both of us are fastidius in the cleaning department.

I called mine Bob Marley becaus it was allways "jammin"

Hi.

We both "had" M2's, I now have the Fabarm and my pal has the Winchester, He is right handed and has more choice.

i have the super black eagle never had a fault with it.had it about 8 yr now

Ive a Beretta 391, ive had it for donkeys years and its been utterly reliable. Ive put 21g upto 32g through it without any problems at all. Used it out in the fields and at one point I was putting at least 500 cartridges through it every weekend on the clays. I clean its internals twice a year - nice & easy to do, and ive only ever had 2 "jams" when it didnt cycle the 2nd cartridge correctly and they were on cheapo 28g clay cartridges. 2 jams out of thousands cant be bad.

 

Price wise, looking at what they sell for 2nd hand now, it looks like ive lost next to nothing in depreciation on it either - as I bought mine 2nd hand originally too.
