Modifying Win 1300 to cycle mini shells

[SayNo2NWO]

I've heard these Aguila rounds are supposed to function well in a Win 1300, but I have found that's not the case. The only pumps that I've seen reliably cycle these shells are the bottom eject variety: Ithaca 37, Browning BPS, etc. From what I can tell the carrier in the 1300 goes down too soon as the slide is being pushed forward. I can hold the carrier up with my finger and get them to feed just fine. Anyone know what modification could be done to cause the carrier to remain in the raised position longer into the cycle in order to feed these mini shells properly?

OPSOL makes an adapter for the mossbergs, they are bottom eject and they need the spacer.
You might have to lengthen the tab on the ejector bar

Yeah, I saw a guy on youtube showing an adapter for the Mossberg, different set up to the Winchester. Not sure what the ejector bar would have to do with feeding?

Where are you finding mini shells? every time I have looked for them no one carries them.

Try ammoseek.com there's a bunch available from different sellers... http://ammoseek.com/ammo/12-gauge/Ag...n?sl=1%203%2F4

Thanks for the link, I stopped looking a while ago. Will have to get back on the ball and see if I can find any of this...

I have a 1300 and have not had any issues.

Awesome, I was hoping someone would have one that would cycle reliably. I wonder, if you could take a video of the process, especially the feeding part when the slide is being moved forward? Mine fails to hold the shell up enough to feed into the chamber. If you could do a vid very slowly so I can see what the differences are, that would be helpful.

Here's a video of what's happening with the failure to feed . Maybe someone can help diagnose? https://youtu.be/tka8wdzYDB4

I would but I don't have a video camera or a smart phone to do it.
