Check to make sure rings are set to the heaviest setting that it will cycle reliably. Use very little oil especially on the mag tube. If an Auto 5 kicks hard its 100% either the rings are set wrong or you have too much oil on the mag tube causing the friction ring to not be able to do its job. These are very soft shooting guns when setup correctly. As for the forearm tighen it all the way down then back off one click

Thanks, I was going to treat it like my 870 and hose it down with rem oil. Glad I asked.

I’d make sure the breech of the barrel is barely visible though the ejection port. If too far forward from forearm wear, can break the op handle or worse. Bad:

Hmmm, thar makes me want to pull my pawpaw's out and check it, because it kicks like a mule. Beautiful gun. Never hunt with it anymore, but not really for any specific reason. 1958 light 12.
Also have my GGF's 1927 Model 12 20 gauge. Would be alot prettier if the butt hadn't been sawn off years ago to fit my uncle when he was a kid.
