How do you adjust Ithaca model 300 shotgun heavy loads to light loads?
To adjust an Ithaca Model 300 shotgun from heavy to light loads, you need to change the gas system settings, if applicable, and ensure the correct ammunition is used. Check the gas ports for any obstructions and consider using a lighter recoil spring if necessary. Additionally, ensure the shotgun is clean and well-lubricated to facilitate smooth cycling with lighter loads. Always consult the owner's manual for specific guidance on adjustments and load recommendations.

What does the adjustable fore-end cap nut on the sportsman 58 shotgun do?
Besides allowing you to remove the shotgun's fore-end and barrel for cleaning, the adjustable cap nut (featuring 'H' and 'L' around it's perimeter) adjusts the shotgun for use between different shotshell loads. You would want to set the nut to "L" when using target loads or light game loads (low-brass shells) and use "H" for heavy shells with high brass. I believe my manual indicates that shot size 00 to 4 would fall under the "H" setting, but I can't remember off-hand. Being that the gun is gas-operated, the nut allows/restricts gas to enter the piston chamber to actuate the bolt and cycle to the next round. Using a heavy load on the light setting would cause too much gas to enter the piston chamber and can possibly harm your shotgun's action. Using light loads on the "H" setting is OK, but your shotgun won't have enough gas to cause it to cycle normally, probably causing the bolt to not open after firing or causing a jam. Remington improved their system on subsequent autoloaders, which is why you don't see it on the 1100s.
Is there a way to reduce severe recoil of a light twenty Browning A5 shotgun?

If no diagram, go to Browning .com and there you can find a diagram, but remember to find the Mag 12, it is different from a standard A-5. When shooting heavy 3" loads, set the rings to heavy. When shooting 2 3/4 lighter loads set for light.
