Went out this morning for the Dove opener. Grabbed the Hatfield and it wouldnt take a shell in the magazine. Then I figured out the plug from the factory is a safety plug (must be a lawyer thing). It came with 2 different length plugs and I put the wrong one back in when I disassembled and cleaned it new. My fault. I ended up cutting the orange plug down 2 shell lengths and reinstalled it. Loaded some shells in and went to town. I have to say, this is the softest shooting shotgun that I have ever used. It worked flawlessly with Federal low brass #8s and 7 1/2. Never missed a beat. Points and shoots well. I'm very happy with the way it handles. After getting home, I replaced the cut plug with the shorter factory plug and double checked that it would take 2 shells in the magazine.
Only a dingleberry, not yet a Turdlike person, maybe someday!!!
I am happier than a retard in a room full of bouncy balls right now!!
