Any experienced lever action shooter knows you firmly keep the gun in your shoulder while running the action. Dropping it down encourages malfunctioning.

[@OutdoorJack]

That is a great tip. Dually noted.

[@markkenward7040]

Like any lever action, you do not HAVE to put your hand inside the loop. I often shoot my Winchester with my hand outside the loop while loading, especially if shooting lots of rounds.. Just a thought. It looks a little tight, which is ok. They tell you to disassemble and clean before shooting. BTW.

[@OutdoorJack]

Thanks for the comment. 👍🏼

Have you Tried the New GF ONE 28" 12 gage? Its absolutely phenomenal!! I also love my G-Force GF1 with the bronze and mahogany finish. Picked it up thanks to your review on the GF-GF1.

[@OutdoorJack]

Yes, I do have that shotgun, I do love it as well. Probably the best shotgun they come out with. Just haven’t had time to do a review on it yet. Lol 😂

Отличное ружьё, поздравляю ! У меня был Винчестер мод. 1886 г. (изготовлен в 1909 г.,. 50-110ЕХ),ствол заменён, примерно, в 50-60-ых годах, на 32-ой калибр (хромированный внутри) , сменные дульные служения (0,3; 0,5; 0,7мм., наиболее востребованные сужение = 0,5мм.),охотился с ним с начала 70-ых годов, добыто масса дичи. Увы, отошёл от охоты и продал... в Хорошие руки, будет и дальше служить человеку. С Уважением, Юрий.

[@OutdoorJack]

Thanks for the comment.

[@fro-yo-momma7082]

Almost got one of these got a darringer 2 shot pistol in 410 instead

[@OutdoorJack]

That’s a cool gun also. 👍🏼

[@robertross3358]

Would love to see a test of as many different slugs as you can find for it ...

[@OutdoorJack]

Yeah, I was very limited on what Ammo I could get to run through it. I couldn't find 2.5" Slugs anywhere and I don't make enough $$ to spend $40 for a box of 5 lol.

[@rshveyda]

Did you do any new gun cleaning, lubing or other maintenance on the gun before your tests? I'm willing to do some work on a budget gun to smooth it up and break it in, but if it won't load or eject out of the box, there is a point it's not worth buying no mater how inexpensive. That said, I've had otherwise reliable firearms act stubborn just like your GForce did on you simply because they were being run too dry. I'd love to see you clean that shotgun well, lube it well then try to run it again. Thanks!

[@OutdoorJack]

I k my added a smaller amount of lune to the fire arm before I tested. I do think with some tweaks it likely would have functioned flawlessly.

[@Drgunzo616]

This is one of those guns you see and think....i don't need it, but...

[@OutdoorJack]

Haha that’s a funny way of looking at it. Thanks for the comment. God Bless!

[@double-eagle-dave]

I'm saving up for one of them now here on my ranch in my scabbard or rack theres a Henry 45 colt lever a Rossi 45 colt lever and a gun belt holding to uberti 1871 45 colts the bottom rack housed stoeger 20 gauge sxs coach gun but I was working on some equipment the jack slipped crushed my shoulder and now I'm recoil sensitive so I have to move to 410 😩 yeah you are getting light primer strikes hmmm

[@christianensley2502]

If ur looking for a good slug for it the hornady critical defense is great it has a slug and 2 buckshot pellets with it and makes it where u can shoot something like a deer easy but swap loads and kill small game

[@horn410]

Поздравляю Вас!!!Вам повезло приобрести хорошее оружие в 410 калибре!!!Метких вам выстрелов!!!

[@jknewb6276]

When taking out the plug is it just the rod? Then put back the spring and screw cap? Im just wondering what's pushing the shells if i take out the spring as well. TIA!! Im definitely not familiar with shotguns but i just grabbed one with a 7+1 20" in FDE skeletonized. Pretty excited to get out to the range!

[@OutdoorJack]

Yes, it is just unscrews and you leave the spring in.

[@jknewb6276]

@@OutdoorJack that's awesome, i appreciate your assistance!! 😎🤘

[@OutdoorJack]

@@jknewb6276 You bet!

[@ABQRT]

@@jknewb6276 I found compressing the spring with along 1/2 wood dowel for 48 hrs or so softened the effort to load the rounds. Also some people measure and remove a few coils of the spring. Ran it several undred times as it came out of the box, flushed "grindings" out of the action using GunScrubber, after softening the spring a bit and lubing with CLP, runs and loads smooth. Not into "Tearing down" a new firearm before shooting if not necessary. You tube vides about difficult loading Rossi, or GFORCE showing various easy fixes.

[@robertross3358]

I'm trying to find a RIFLED choke tube to put in mine , when I get it , for Foster style slugs ! I know the .410 slugs will fragment when they hit anything substantial , but for Armadillos and baby pigs , I want some real accuracy if I can get it ! Buffalo's Outdoors got a .75 inch , five shot group from 12 Ga. Federal Power Shock Fosters Slugs at fifty yards ... I could get used to accuracy like that !

[@OutdoorJack]

I guess if I was shooting those things I’d probably go to a .357 lever or something. Lol

[@robertross3358]

@@OutdoorJack I'm just trying to justify buying a .410 lever gun for jump shooting dove on fencelines and gravel roads ... where have all the starlings gone ?

[@OutdoorJack]

@@robertross3358 ahh I see 👍🏼

[@KeithWollesen]

won't fire, some when off. tried different brands of shells. have two of theses. dose not hit firing pin hard enough

[@OutdoorJack]

Yeah, I think when I short stroked the gun it likely did that. Also make sure it’s well lubedz

[@KeithWollesen]

@@OutdoorJack tried 4 different brands of shells. We have two of these guns with three different experienced hunters and had the same opinions from all three. We all had several misfires with all four brands. The firing pin was not hitting hard enough on the misfires. I don't agree with the short stroke theory. The guns were cleaned and lubed many times. Disappointed!!!! A brand-new gun should shoot more than fifty percent of the time

[@OutdoorJack]

@@KeithWollesen agree completely, did you talk to customer service ?

[@oldgysgt]

I just delivered a Gforce 410 lever action to a person who bought it from an out-of-town dealer who sells guns at our local gun show two weeks ago. I tried to do the loading and unloading exercise required by California when a gun is delivered to the buyer. Using dummy 410 rounds, I could not even get them to go into the magazine completely. After several attempts, we managed to get one in the magazine by rocking the lever a little, but then the round hung up on the feed ramp, and wouldn't chamber. The only way to get the dummy out of the gun was to maneuver it back down and into the magazine tube again, and then pull the magazine tube plug and drop the round out the front. Because I didn't sell this gun, (I only did the transfer), I advised the buyer to contact Gforce for help. I also contacted the seller and advised him of the problem, and let him know the buyer was not a happy camper. Bottom line is; don't buy one of these guns, and if you're a gun dealer, don't stock or sell them as it could cost you future customers. From my limited experience, these guns are bad news.

[@OutdoorJack]

I am sorry!

[@fanbatcher]

This guy’s gone on every review of this gun and pissed and moaned. Anyone buying a Turkish made shotgun knows the deal: they are budget priced guns with spotty quality and you fully expect to put significant effort into breaking it in.

[@oldgysgt]

@@fanbatcher; I'm not talking "breaking in"! The shotgun in this case would not even allow a 410 shell to be fully inserted in the magazine. This shotgun is TOTAL junk.

[@ABQRT]

@@oldgysgt I found the mag follower spring is too long, so fully compressed it for 48 hrs, some people are cutting loops off these and other name brand firearms. Loads just fine now. There are numerous KZbin videos on the issues with this firearm and Rossi all similar issue all with much satisfaction after the adjustments. Functions fine and NOT the price of your beloved expensive Henry. I CAN mention nightmares with Chiappa though with thier AR's multiple issues, including firing out of battery, sent list of issues to their Support Dept and they quit responding, umped it ASAP and will never by anything that has Chiappa on the firearm.

[@ABQRT]

@@OutdoorJack Don't be.

[@vicelliott7458]

Is it a rifled barrel it would be a great deer.

[@OutdoorJack]

It is not a rifled Barrel, its a straight wall .410.

[@GBGuns]

Frusterating when ammo as pricey as 410 doesn't fire.

[@OutdoorJack]

Yeah no kidding. Like a dollar a shot!

[@GBGuns]

@@OutdoorJack I can relate. I once was trying to Chronograph 28 Nosler with a LabRadar. $4/shot to see no reading shot after shot.

[@OutdoorJack]

@@GBGuns yeah when I test big calibers it gets pricing! Holler if you want to collaborate somehow.

[@armedfarm3429]

Hint- It's not the ammo it's the gun. 209 primers will fire every time, light primer strikes won't light er off. This gun is a cheap made gun, it will need some work to be 100%.

[@OutdoorJack]

@@armedfarm3429 I am sure that could be it. The harder the primer strike the better performance I am sure. However I looked at all the primers of the shot shells and they looked exactly the same. No big deal either way.

[@coldspring624]

Seriously who builds a 410 that wont handle 3 mags.

[@OutdoorJack]

Yeah that is the negative but it’s fun to shoot.
