TriSrar 3 1/2 autoloader

[Bob Sanders]

Just wondering, I bought a TriStar auto loader that is supposed to shoot everything. Works great for it's primary purpose, duck hunting. Yet when I decided to bust some doves, it just won't cycle 2 7/8 shells. LGS said it's because WalMart shells are down loaded, TriStar says it needs broken in with magnum loads. And yes, I did change the piston to light loads.
Any ideas? Other than I should have saved up for an 11-87.

What's a TriStar?

Importer of Turkish firearms located in kc mo. If you are having issues give them a call. They will help you out.

Their shotguns are very similar to beretta's design.

I hope it gets better. I thought of trying it in a 3 gun match, but until I'm confident it will run, I'll just use it for ducks. I have a massive 15 year old son that will love to shoot clays with about 100 3 1/2 inch 4 shot! Maybe that will break it in!
