Thread: Escort 20g semi auto shotgun

ive used an escort12g for my main gun for 5yrs now and apart from the odd malfunction (usually bloody easily remedied in the mancave) its been chuggin along nicely.
as someone said -maintainence is the all important factor.Mine is the early model -2stage manual regulator,fitted with extended mag(8 x2 3/4 rds ;7x 3"rds).it was at least 3-5yrs old when i bought it.Ive just replaced the gas piston which fractured round a thread cut in the steel body -little wonder after years of hi impacts.mind you was lucky to get given a box of spares courtesy of a kind gent from down south.the rubber ring -it broke so slapped a replacemnt similar sized "O"ring outta my supply in my toolbox-ol girl bellows away to her hearts content.
The major problem was the bars on the bolt carrier -if the mag tube is allowed to get shit built up on it the carrier will bind under pressure of recycling action and bend these.
Mine was aslso finnicky with trap ammo ,but a bit of a yarn with heldful people and i have a very bloody excellent ammo combo which sees the old girl nailing clays regularly.
Ihave a review of the escort 20g in my file if someone is interested will post.
