I like mine and the slugs seem to hit point of aim. But it's my first semi auto shotgun. It was reliable with everything other than Winchester bulk pack. If you get the lifter forks welded send it to c-rums and plan on blending the chamber edges.
Or don't get it welded and be careful while loading so you don't get the finger trap. ETA I got mine for 3 gun and have put at least 1500 rounds through it in 2 years. |

Beware if you are planning to put a scope on it. I have a SLP which is basically the same gun, and have tried 2 types of rings, and neither one will tighten down enough on the rail.
Anybody running a scope on one of these? |

I think the rail is Weaver on the SLP-not Picatinny. And that was a really dumb move on FN's part IMHO.

Yes the rail on the 22" barreled model is a weaver, and I've tried to fit weaver rings. They will not work. I've used 2 types of Warne rings.

Anybody running a scope on one of these? I would like to put a low power scope or RDS on it as I'm interested in the deer/slug version. |

I plugged the magazine tube and bought a Burris Tac30 1-4x scope that I haven't gotten to use yet! Who knows, maybe I just got a dud or something. |

Can anyone speak to this issue and the type of rail on the Winny X3? |

I have a SPL and might try using it for deer hunting with slugs too. Just a dowel rod XX inches long? |

Shadow, yes that is pretty much what it is. I actually used a piece of pvc pipe, I didn't want to use a wood dowel rod because I was afraid the wood would hold moisture, but anything like that would work fine. I will measure my plug later on and post the info.
