ctay Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Yours should be OK , it's the flange on the mag that's week, coupler is plenty stout. I'll give you 2 choices 1; I can send a new coupler 2; use it til it breaks, send everything back, we'll send you a new mag. Can I get that deal? Mine's just sitting in pieces in a box in the garage.Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it don't break and all is good. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKJD Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 When mine broke at the flange in the 2nd match I used it in and contacted Tooth and Nail I got an email back saying I must have stepped on it. Interesting that others have had the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKJD Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Benl, I had a problem similar to yours. Try pushing forward on the magazine in the area of the coupler while shooting and see if it feeds. On mine the weight of the magazine was causing it to rock back in the polymer lower changing the feed angle. It would feed when I pushed on the magazine. I tried to build up the back of the magwell to keep it from happening but ended up buying an aluminum lower and that cured the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganbillJ Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If you're using 3" the feed lips will need to be trimmed back. Nope, 2 3/4". Just doesn't work. Based on your picture your feed lips need to be trimmed back. The shell is not releasing from the magazine before it hits the feed ramp. Shoot me a PM or give me a call. I will get you taken care of whether you do it or send it back and we do. These mags flat out run if tuned for your gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Wonder what the adoption would be if they were allowed in Limited and Tactical, say with iron sights and a limit to the amount of shells in magazines........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) I would think it would depend on the number of rounds permitted in the magazine. At 5 rounds there probably not be much savings in the amount of time to reload. Possibly slower than that for a tube fed gun. At 10 rds there would be some savings and it would get some interest. And at 15 rds the time savings would be substantial and there may well be a mutiny. Edited February 16, 2016 by Flatland Shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 It would be closer to the starting capacity in those divisions. I agree with your comments for sure. We shall see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I have always felt that these guns deserve a place in limited and tac. 8 round mags to mirror 8 +1, which I really hope we get back to in shotgunning. We are starting to design stages around long tubes, instead of designing stages around the shooting challenges of using a shotgun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darqusoull13 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'd love to shoot a VEPR with irons, no comp and a capacity limit. There are more and more shotgun only matches starting up this year. Maybe someone with enough sway could suggest a division like this get recognized at a shotgun only match and go from there?

kurtm Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Oklahoma City Gun Club has always allowed mag fed shotgun in tactical. Maybe that will catch on like the red dot in "irons" did......that Oklahoma City Gun Club pioneered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
