Hello, I am a 3 gunner that has 2 new problems after installing the J Kinny lifter. Occasionally when loading an empty gun with bolt back the lifter contacts the shell and will not move. I have this problem about 1 in every 10 reload attempts whether it is during practice or match conditions. Picture attached below.
The second issue is that upon the command "Make Ready", I remove my chamber flag, cycle a round in and add a round to the tube. After the buzzer I go to fire the shotgun and the hammer will not drop and the trigger does not release. I have triple checked to ensure the safety is pushed in from the right and in the off position. This might be called hammer follow, but I am not certain. Sometimes cycling another round in resolves the issue sometimes it does not.
Both of these issues appeared after installing the lifter and were never present before. My M2 is older with probably 10,000+ rounds on it. I have a taran tactical increased strength recoil spring, nordic 12 round tube, A&S trigger guard with briley trigger and trigger job by them. The bolt was lightened and 3 gun prep was made by Benny Hill at Triangle Shooting sports in Corpus Christi. Any thoughts on why this condition exists?
