I have an A300 about 3 years old. Synthetic camo. During this past duck season a had a few High Velocity rounds in my mix of shells. Figured I would shoot them and get them out of the way. When I did, the base of the forearm slid beyond the receiver. It is as if the extra kick caused the forearm to slid out of the notch of the receiver. I would have to unscrew the cap, replace the forearm in the correct position, then screw the cap back on.
My first thought was that somehow I did not have the cap screwed on tight enough. I then shot some heavier BB's and the same thing happened again. It is now becoming an issue with 3 Inch shells regularly, but not 2 3/4. I checked for any type of cracks, and can not find any.
I have to assume, and we know what that does, that once it was stretched onto the receiver that the forearm has now become the slightest bit wider and the extra "Umph" from 3 inch shells is going to continue to be an issue.
My guess is that any advice would be to just get a new forearm. Am I correct? Thanks for any feedback.
