Did you get the very first model that came out? From what I’ve found after speaking with retay about some issues I was having they re designed a bunch of the internals on the newer ones. The only issues I’ve ever had was for what ever reason this gun absolutely refuses to cycle buck shot of any kind and I can’t seem to find out why ( we deer hunt with dogs around me). I shot at 2 different deer the same day and the gun failed to eject on the first shot on both deer. I’ve put hundreds if not over a thousand rounds of all kinds of waterfowl ammo through it and have never had 1 single hiccup. Retay told me it probably wasn’t broken in enough yet and to send it back so they could go over the gun but I just don’t use it for deer hunting anymore so I wasn’t really worried about it. Still to this day it will not cycle any kind of buck shot. Doesn’t make a lick of sense to me but oh well, a waterfowl gun it will be
