FAQ - Owners Manuals

Our shotguns have internally threaded barrels that utilize Benelli/Mobil® pattern choke tubes.

Chokes can be identified by the number of notches present on the muzzle end.

The following are guideline for slecting the proper choke tube for various ammo types.

Modified/Full: Buckshot or Bird Shot.

Important Info Regarding Steel Shot

The choke (before constriction) in all modern shotguns has been established based on the pattern performance of shot shells loaded with lead shot. When using steel shot shells,you will notice a different performance in pattern density versus the established lead shot pattern, because the steel shot is harder and lighter than lead shot. You should be aware of the following differences and cautions: Never shoot steel shot loads in a full choked barrel or an improved modified choked barrel. Doing so, may cause the barrel to swell or rupture. In general, steel shot fired with a modified choke will produce the equivalent of a lead full choke pattern. This will be true of all steel shot sized up to and including no. 2. The established improved cylinder chokes will produce the equivalent of a (lead) modified pattern. All steel shot sized larger than no. 2, and including special sized such as F, T, etc, should be used only with improved cylinder chokes. These steel shot sizes, when used in an improved cylinder choke, will produce equivalent to (lead) full choke patterns. The established cylinder choke or bore will produce the equivalent of a modified (lead) pattern. Additional information concerning the use of steel shot is available from the ammunition companies. When using aftermarket choke tubes, check the mfg. recommendations prior to use.

All Military Armament Corporation firearms imported into the US are designed to comply with all Federal regulations as defined in 18 U.S. Code § 922(r). Be advised that altering your firearm in any manner beyond the factory configuration by installing magazines/tubes that increase the ammunition capacity over 5rds. and/or adding "not suitable for sporting purposes" features such as an adjustable or folding stock, bayonet lugs or other features that are commonly found on "Assault Weapons" is a violation of 18 U.S. Code § 922(r).

MAC-5 and MAC-5k Models Ship from the Mfg with the bolt gap set to the following specs:

0.25MM - 0.45MM. +/- .05MM

Please be advised that when measuring bolt gap to use a high-quality set of feeler gauges, and the firearm must be unfired, and all internal parts clean from any dirt, carbon, or fouling. Firing the weapon with Binary Triggers, Suppressed, or using Higher Velocity/Heavier Ammunition under heavy volumes of fire may cause excessive to wear internal components result bolt gap may need to be checked and adjusted by the use of +/- rollers to ensure proper function of the weapon.

Due to import restrictions set forth by the BATFE, the MAC-5 and MAC-5k are built with an internal block to prohibit the use of Full Auto parts on these firearms. Altering the internals of the MAC-5/5k firearms in anyway will void your warranty and is not recommended. Any alterations may result in violations of the NFA/GCA and could lead to arrest, fines, and other legal penalties.

Yes, most firearms will benefit from a good break-in period. When you receive your firearm: read your instruction manual for a good overview of the controls and other information, ensure your firearm is unloaded, disassemble your firearm, clean and properly lubricate it per the instructions, cycle the action a few times to ensure all parts are moving freely. Head to the range and run some high-quality ammunition through your firearm. Typically you will see performance and reliability become consistent after the first initial uses of the firearm. Clean and lubricate as needed during break-in.

Shotguns typically will require 50-100rds of ammunition, we recommend a heavy load of 1oz or heavier for break in.

The receiver, barrel, operating mechanism and fire control parts are machined from metal. The stock, hand-guard, and lower are made from a impact resistant polymer.No, we do not recommend the use of non standard 12 Gauge ammo such as mini-shot shells in our firearms. Our firearms are made to be used with standard 2 3/4", 3" or 3.5" shells depending on model. Refer to your owners manual for more information.

Our gas piston operating system on certain models can be used with the factory installed "Light" piston for most loads 1 1/8oz and under 1600fps velocities. For loads heavier than 1 1/4oz and faster than 1600fps loads, the "Heavy" piston is recommended.

A commonly available choke tube thread adpater is required. It will replace the Benelli/Mobil pattern choke tube installed in the barrel and have extended threads for attaching muzzle brakes or suppressors. Carolina Shooter Supply and many Supressor Mfg. offer this in the Benelli/Mobil pattern.

The design of the Turkish T-1919 pattern magazine allows it to be “over-inserted” in certain models of firearms. This can cause feeding issues and/or damage to the magazine. To mitigate this, when inserting the magazine, it is not necessary to seat the magazine with force. Pulling downward on the magazine will often engage the magazine catch in the proper manner if the magazine was over-inserting during initial loading.

If the magazine is stuck, before attempting to remove it, ensure there are no live ammunition in the firearm. To remove any live ammunition from the magazine, you can remove the base plate by pressing in the “O” and sliding it forward (The Star is just decorative and doesn’t need to be pushed to remove the base). Once it has been cleared, hold the magazine release button and pull down on the magazine.

The Titan and Hammer are not intended to use chokes from the factory. The included barrel is a fixed "cylinder bore" choke constriction, and not threaded to accept choke tubes.

The bolt connecting the upper and lower will need to be tightened with the regular maintenance. We do not recommend Loctite since this step is part of the disassembly for cleaning.
