The KSG is my first gun. Just got it last week. Shot 110 rounds today. I have a question. It happened three times after shooting all the shells on both tubes. Please correct me if there is something wrong that I did. After shooting I rack the slider towards me. Set it to SAFE mode. By the way I was using Aguila Mini shells today.As I was trying to reload one tube I could only push in one shell. I cannot push the second shell in. I tried putting a shell on the other tube and it did the same thing I can only push in one shell. I ended up ejecting the shells on both tubes by racking the slider, thats the only way I know how to take out the shells in the tube. So I repeated putting in the shells and same thing happened. One shell gets in and second won't slide in. So had to rack the slider to eject the shell. After two or three cycles of this it started working right again. Shells are getting in smoothly again. THis happened I believe 2 or 3 times. What did I do wrong? How do work around it? Thanks in advance.

First of all, you can manually unload the tubes without cycling them through the action. Each tube has a serrated piece that you can depress, and it moves away from the rim of the shell, and the shell should fly out into the ejection port.

I'm curious... you shot 110 mini shells two at a time? Fifty-five reloads? THAT SIR, IS DEDICATION.

Since the KSG was not designed for mini's, but "may" function with them, you might want to try some full size. Next question: When you were reloading, the selector was in the correct position, yes?

That's all I can think of right now... maybe more later

Shot 100 minishells and 10 regular low recoil shells. It happened with twice with the mini shells and once with the Regular low recoil shells. Yes I checked and made sure that the selector is on the right position. Thanks for the tip on ejecting the shells from the tube.

By the way no jams or failure to feed issues. Really had fun today.

Brand new ksg have the same issue as the thread. Shell hanging up on the edge of the right mag tube. Never been fired. Called Keltec on a monday, they sent me an email immediately to send them pertinent info. I replied on Tuesday and they sent me a link to fedex by weds with label. Couldn't ask for faster response time. Ksg was shipped out last Sat and they got it today. Call them, they will take care of the issue. Lifetime warranty on original owner.

I have to say Keltec Customer service is excellent. They answered the phone immediately, sent me the info email while on the phone and I had the fedex label attached to an email the next day. I got my ksg back today, 2 weeks to the day I sent it to them. Great turn around. Thanks Keltec.
