I put 150rd through it today, 100 Federal birdshot 7.5 & 8, 25 Rio 00 buck, 20 Fiocchi 00 buck (my $170 Turkish guns hated this stuff), and 5 NSI 12 pellet 00 buck. It ate everything without a hiccup.

I want to get another 100rd through it plus some Federal FC 00 before retiring my 870 from HD duty.
My only two issues today were:
1) the GG&G optic mount came loose so I’ll put some blue loctite on that tonight. Otherwise the Riton PRD (big brother to the $99 MPRD) did well.
2) the plastic barrel clamp was all the way up against the front sight by the end of the day and that was after tightening it once. Like most have reported, this made some wear marks on the barrel.
My TLR-1HL on Magpul offset mount looked great but was not the best idea. The rear edge of the mount recoiled into my thumb nail due to a lazy grip one time, ended up making a small split in my nail. I didn’t make that mistake again. I’ll be moving the light to the other side and run into a tape switch to the left side. I’m also considering trying a Protac 650lm since I can use this TLR elsewhere.
