FN SLP Problems

[ohsmily]

Anyone out there own a FN SLP? Mine's having cycling problems and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same.

Thanks.

I have the Winchester Super X2 MKI (winchester version of your gun).

When I first got the gun, it would not cycle the WalMart field loads (pretty light loaded bird shot). So, I bought heavy target loads and those were 100%. However, after shooting a few hundred rounds through it, it cycles the standard field load stuff. However, it still will not cycle "low recoil buck" or "low recoil slugs." You don't need heavy loaded magnum stuff to make it work, but the "low recoil" designated stuff is just too light.

P.S. I LOVE this gun. For fun when plinking, I do mag dumps (bump-firing more or less) of this thing and it will go as fast as you can pull the trigger....REAL fast....like machine gun fast.

Just get a Benellit M4. It can go 12,000+ rounds without cleaning and it cycles everything you put through it every time.

I've found that SLP's tend to get a bit tempermental with light loads. Some of the bulk 1 oz. loads won't cycle them reliably when they are new. Run a case or two of HGL's thru it and everything should be smoothed out by then.
