Love this gun, but (as you all know) it is very picky about what ammo it will shoot. I pretty much only shoot either #7 for skeet or low recoil 00 buck for HD. I have yet to find a LR buck shell that will cycle 100% of the time. Even the #7 will FTE ~4% of the time. I'm considering a lighter Wolf spring, will this be okay for both full power #7 and LR 00buck?

Secondly, I was at a local gun store, and the guy mentioned that with the ending of the federal assault weapon ban, I could have a more than the old 5+1 in a semi-auto SG w/ pistol grip stock law here in Kalifornia. Is this true? I'm not sure if he was confused or somthing. I questioned him on it and he said that it was a federal law, not a state one like the 10 round magazine limit still on the books here in CA. So when the fed law ended, I can now put on a longer extension. I know you can have more than 5+1 on a pump shotgun w/ pistol grip stock, but semi-autos too?

Thanks!
