I received the ejector spring for my "new" circa 1914 M97 yesterday and put a couple boxes through it today with no more problems. Now I've got a couple of questions.
1) Assuming a right handed shooter, what seems to work best for you, holding the shotgun to your shoulder with your right hand on the pistol grip and reloading with your left, or holding it to your shoulder with your left hand on the slide and reloading with your right?
2) When initially picking up the staged shotgun, do you chamber one, then shove one in the mag, or shoot them all single shot? Also, after the initial two shots, do you load two at once just like the first two shots, or finish the string with single shots?
There's quite a learning curve with a pump gun compared to the coach guns I've been using for my first two seasons.
