hogue problems

Post by mcdeez333 »

has any one experienced any problems with the hogue fore end causing cycling issues? Im not sure if thats my issue or not but its almost like my slide isn't coming back far enough or my shell latch won't get out of the way.

Thats essentially the problem, the shell latch isn't moving out of the way to allow the shell to leave the tube. is this a common problem? typical smithing issue? just wondering if its common, and if theres an obvious fix, and if the hogue has anything to do with it.

throw it at me guys

thanks guys

Another user recently reported cycling problems with a Hogue fore-end, seems there was some interference between it and the receiver, and some modification was necessary to make it work. I've seen fit issues with other aftermarket fore-ends as well.

If you think the fore-end might be to blame, take it off the fore-end tube, then put the gun back together and run it with just the bare fore-end tube, no fore-end. If you still have issues, you'll know there's something else going on.

Thanks Sync,
I did some trimming and the hogue runs great, now if I could just get the tube to spit the shells out
