Winchester SX3

[Dibs]

I bought an SX3 Flannigan recently and its superb, however. I have done about 250 carts through it and having a jam on average every 50 carts.

 

It ejects the first shell and the second half feeds but then gets stuck just in the tube. I am using Hull FITASCS which have a high brass and wondered if this could be catching or does it need wearing in a bit more?

 

Will give it another clean to make sure I have got all the factory grease out the ports etc but anything else I should do before taking it into the gun shop for a "tweak"?

Have you cleaned it fully since new? i do mine once every outer of 250 as i encour the same fault as you but the cartridge is pushing inbetween the magtube and chamber.

I suspect that is all it will be so will give it another going over today. It shoots so well I will resolve it as its a lovely bit of kit.

 

 

My first semi auto for clays and I am hooked - its the way forward.

I have the SX3 in synthetic and you need to make sure the cartridges you use are 70mm in length and not the 65mm or 67mm as these do cause jams. This is stated in the manual.

Mine is chambered up to 3.5 inch and will cycle 28 gram loads in 70mm no problem. Awesome guns!

 

Hope this is of help to you.
