Yeah - I'm out. Good luck with the search, Brother.
Thank you!

??? The magazine assembly does not move on the Maverick. ???
In the bottom video, you're 'short-shucking' it. (actually, it looks like it never fully goes into battery, either.) It needs to be opened fully, and closed fully, with violence of action. (That is, vigorously.)
Also, you're loading it wrong. Either drop the round into the action, and let the bolt slam it home when you shut the action (vigorously!) , or push it into the magazine, then work the action to chamber the shell.
Bet it works just fine if you do that.
Yes. Pump and semi auto shotguns are not designed to be loaded by inserting a shell directly into the chamber. Sometimes that will work, but with a defense shotgun, it's not something to bet your life in. (It's also slower and requires fine motor skills vs. dropping one in the ejection port and slamming it shut.)Guessing I maybe just messed it up at some point by putting dummy rounds into chamber or something?
well ****! I tried following the nonexistent instructions that didnt come with the https://www.combathunting.com/Maver...8_Tactical_Forend_With_3_Accessory_Rails.html
, tried following a youtube video and the tiny manual that came with the maverick.
The correct way to attach it is to screw the end cap down all the way, slide the grip down the rail from the front to where you want it, then screw the cap up until it is tight. You may have damaged the nub that fits in the slot. You might have to replace the foregrip. It looks like the grip is molded for a small allen head screw, #10 x 2", probably, and a corresponding hex nut. These are easy enough to find at your local hardware store, bring the grip with to ensure fit.
You got the best one made.
Anyone use a red or green dot sight & magnifying scope on your shotguns?
Although some refer to shotguns as just point and shoot, it seems and from videos I've watched have heard that they can be used with some precision out to a point. And I'm not a fan of keeping my face right up against the gun when firing due to recoil and how some peoples teeth & face have been injured from recoil.
Having a pinpoint focus sight can only help improve accuracy which is worthwhile imo.
Any recommendations about specific types and models of scopes that will fit pictanny rails and stay reliable with use on shotguns and their recoil?
