my sx3 gets last chance

[sx3jammer]

jam after jam, I've taken apart and cleaned every part as per the forums. I'VE bought A CASE OF FIELD LOADS INSTEAD OF TRAP LOADS. MAYBE THEY'LL FUNCTION BETTER.I SEE BROWNING HAS CHANGED THE BOLTS ON THE 2010'S.THEY DID IT FOR A REASON!

Before consigning that to the trash, try some heavy loads. Many autos need to be broken in with stuff more like magnums than creampuffs.

Try full power buck,slugs, or anything OVER 1 1/8 oz labeled Max Dram.

HTH....

where ya live, I'll trade ya something that won't jam..

I just emailed Patrick Flannigan and warned him to give up on his SX3 and world records as he somwehow has managed to shoot over 200,000 rounds out of some of his guns without a single FTF. Cleans them every few thousand rounds. How much you want for your SX3 as I want one?

JM, LOL... I have a SX3 Flanigan and never had any problems. I usually shoot Remington 2 3/4 inch 1 1/8 oz loads.

How about per the Owner's Manual?

Have you called the company and asked them?

Are you absolutely SURE you put it back together correctly?

I'm looking for a good semi-auto, want to sell? Or trade? Trying to get rid of an XD40 Bi-Tone! It NEVER jams!
