What a strange fault... I know they recalled the SXP for feed issues or something along those lines, but not heard of any SX3 problems.
Is this a new shotgun with a problem or an older one with a new issue? Just thinking about warranty etc.

That would explain the need to load at a particular orientation

Have a goosey on the FourIslands forum and/or UKPSA (if you're a member), I'm sure it will have been covered if its a known issue

Andy Haines at Masterclass custom or the good folks at Shield shooting centre. I haven't found anyone up Norf that specialises unfortunately.

Depends where up north. Cheshire Gun Room have 3 gunsmiths on site & one specialises in all things shotgun.

I meant ACTUAL North lol

Thanks for the tip on Cheshire though, that's a bit closer and not too much of a hike if I was going to Rossendale or Diggle :good:
