Anyone had issues with the shell retainer not retaining shells while loading or shooting? Extra shells will pop out onto the feed ramp and block loading or fly out during firing.

As a matter of fact my gun does it too. I figured the shell catch needed to be tuned a little stiffer.Fallout556 said:

Try using an M3000 spring on the shell catch, it might be a little stiffer.

The affinity uses the M2 shell catch.Joe Frechette said:

I thought about that after I posted. Does that mean just bending it a bit then?
I think MOA might have messed with you guy's catch a little to much. I bent mine in like the tiniest possible amount I could wth my linesmen pliers and a vice, and mine works perfectly.

You can definitely go to far. I never modified my M2, it just kind of broke in after practicing forever.
For the Affinity, I bent it at first what I thought was just a little bit. It was too much, bending it back even slightly-er fixed it.

Sorry for the delay. Yeah it was MOA. Tom actually responded pretty quickly when I asked him. Trying to fix it now. I love that gun and it would be perfect if it weren't for that small issue

Had the same issue initially, like others have posted, bend the shell catch ever so slightly to inside of the receiver. Fixed my issue. Seems like once you find the sweet spot with it, things run great.

Got my Affinity running nice but forgot to install my match saver. Does anyone have a video, picture, template for installing a Match Saver for it?
The issue is with the the return spring on the Affinity is around the magazine tube intead of to the rear of the receiver in the stock. Im not sure where to drill into for the match saver.
