My plug is fine with 2 3/4, I just barely can't get the third one in.

As for the bolt handle, I have heard of the problem, but not for a while. I assume rem have fixed it. I have never had the bolt handle come out

Cool thanks everyone!

Soooo...I hunted with the “new” sportsman mentioned above last week. Everything worked fine...Black Cloud 3” No. 2’s. Pull trigger, ducks fall. ( oK...not everytime, but...)

I couldn’t unload the magazine at the end of the hunt. The last shell just would not release. I finally had to chamber a shell and fire it to get the last shell out of the magazine.

I contacted Remington and spoke to Sarah, an extremely helpful young lady. She is sending me a new magazine spring and shell latch. Hopefully this will resolve this issue.

Will advise.

I installed the new, longer, magazine spring. It’s noticeably stiffer when loading shells.

Everything worked well.

Problem solved.

I had the problem of cartridges not feeding properly on the new (to me) LH model. Gunsmith ended up replacing the original magazine spring with one for a 1100 which is purportedly longer and stronger than the VM one. Looks like it took care of the feeding issue as I really like the way she feels, points and shoots but being a single shot wasn't working.

Gun finally came in! (If I could figure out how to upload pics I would, keeps saying file too large)

Haven't shot it yet but did test out the plug issue I mentioned.. no problem here. 2 3/4 and 3" shells were legal, and I'm sure 3 1/2 will be too

I knew my friends were idiots :mrgreen:
