MEC 9000

[C.O.B.]

I have the Mec 9000 in 16,20,28, and 410. Other than the 28 they are all set up for the 2 1/2 inch hull. I'd buy a 12 but I can buy shells so cheap and I really don't shoot much 12ga anymore.

I have never had an issue with any of them.

I bought a slightly used 28ga. 9000 and had problems with new magnum size 8 shot bridging at the bottom of the rammer tube. What I discovered is that that bag of shot, even though new, it was bought years ago and some of the shot had oxidized, not allowing it to flow smoothly. Bought a fresh bad and problem was resolved but what a mess it makes, shot all over the place!

[C.O.B.]

when they mess up it's a big mess. I carpeted the gun room and I bet there is well over a pound of shot stuck in the carpet. I have tried vacuum cleaner, shot vacs and I can't get it picked up.
