    Big Day, tomorrow

    I'm super-excited: tomorrow I can pick up my brand new H&R Excell Auto 5 shotgun!
    Gonna post a pic or two, if you don't mind

    Thanks for the help, MAX100.

              We had some light hail today in SF (at least in Twin Peaks), and rained for many hours.
              My camera took the pix, I set it up on the window sill.

                Sure, MAX
                Right now I have a puzzle to solve... can't get the slide off the mag tube / can't get the slide lever out.

                    Got it ordered since High Bridge didn't have any in stock, so I'm guessing they added a transfer fee... On the net you find it for $325-$375, it cost me $425 with DROS.
                    I'm happy. It's a quality gun, semi-auto - and good looking, too.

                      The bolt handle can be a little hard to get out. Break it down: barrel, forend ..ect The bolt handle has a raised piece on it to keep it from slipping out. With the shotgun broke down. Push in on the bolt a little from top of the receiver and line the little slot in the bolt with the bolt handle and pull the bolt handle out. When you take the bolt out there is a little U spring that fits in a slot on the inside of the bolt, don't loose it and pay attention which direction it sits in the slot. Clean the grease out of receiver and parts. Then oil it, not to much but coat them good. You can use an old tooth brush. Just wipe the gas system parts with a very lightly oiled rag. The gas piston need to go on in the right direction for standard loads. Read your manual.

                        Hey, can you send me a picture of the small U-spring? You know my e-mail address... I got your warning a bit too late, it seems

                          Got it - it's inside of the bolt slide, right?

                            How does this compare to a CD field hunter? CD's customer service seems top notch
