Even after tightening down the locking nut for the gas chamber, there is a small space for my stainless gas piston to move back and forth (about 1/16th of an inch). Is that normal?
Thanks for checking out the video, Micah... I don't believe there should be movement there and I'm not really sure what would allow that to happen, honestly. Sometimes you kind of have to crank down on the locking nut. If you would, try that and let me know if you still experience issues. Thanks again
@@Delta7Nine thanks for the response. I’ve checked, double checked and rechecked again. Weapon function (outside of actually firing some shells) seems to be OK. I can’t crank down the locking nut any tighter than it is. Wish the manual had better instruction.
@@Delta7Nine I got a hold of Black Aces and they said it’s normal to have some movement for the gas piston to go back and forth when the gas chamber is fully locked and assembled.
@@MicahV86 excellent information! Surprised they got back to you that quickly. I'm going to pin this convo to the top for anyone else experiencing this. Thanks so very much for reporting back. Stay safe & well!
This was a GREAT no non-sense field strip and assembly for this awesome shotgun I just bought! Thanks @Delta7Nine I think you may wanna reconsider buying this badass shotgun again LOL
First I want to say what a great and simple video. I just ordered one from PSA on sale and can't wait to get it in my hands! It seems to me by reading the comments made that this gun is and can be a pain in the ass. I want to thank you for your responses and video so hopefully I will have an easier time when I try it my first time!!
Thanks for the walk through. The charging handle and pins can be a PITA! I had to use a hammer for one of the pins and some pliers for the charging handle.
Great idea & totally agree! It didn't dawn on me, because I don't own it, but if I can get my hands on one, I'll make the vid for sure. Let me ask around...
Thanks for the kind words. I think you'll really like it. It shoots exceptionally soft, for a Shotgun. Black Aces suggests a break-in of at least 25 #00 Buckshot, so that's what I did using Federal ammo and it runs flawlessly. For some reason, it doesn't like the primers on Aguila #8 (perhaps they are a bit harder).
BUY IT NOW (11/21) !!!!! They are on clearance @ PSA. They have around 7 different models (Pump vs. Semi & different colors). Prices ranging from $299 - $399. Mine was the pro as show in this video... $430 taxed/shipped.
REVERSE THREAD'S: Notice he is turning right to loosen all the threads except 1 which is the gas piston..... Don't crank down on anything with the usual righty tightly American standard thread turn......😉
I got tired of waiting for the Panzer Arms and pulled the trigger, glad I did. Any word on the barrel construction? Where did you get your gloves? What choke did you go with and why? Did you test out a range of ammo? I was a Master Training Specialist in the Navy, you get an ”A.”
Sorry for not responding, I didn't get any notifications of comments... not sure about the barrel construction, sorry. Gloves are just cheapy ones from Ace Hardware. I've since gotten a pair of Hardy gloves from Harbor Freight that are much better. They have a grippier texture where the other ones were SUPER slippery when oil got on them. I didn't change out the choke from factory. I believe mine came with the number 1 installed. Didn't do an ammo range test, just some Federal #00 Buckshot & Aguila #8. Thanks for the kind words!
Hey D79, I just did my first field strip, clean and lube. That barrel nut wrench is way to small, two applications of WD 40 and one hour got it off. I was surprised at the number of contact surfaces needing grease. Harbor Freight has the best 50 cal cans too.
@@SQUID_Road_Glide I agree, the first disassembly, everything was EXTREMELY tight, but it got much easier. Truly glad the video helped and hope you stay safe & well, my friend!
@@Delta7Nine Same to you and yours. I think the general naiveté of our fellow citizens has woken to the fragility of governments with COVID-19. It is embarrassing for me to have waited so long to invest in home defense. Mama use to say, "No guns."
@Delta7nine when you did your very first disassembly, how much effort and what technique did you use to remove the bolt/bolt carrier rail assembly from the upper ? Mine isn't budging, and I don't want to beat on it quite yet. I have read that after you removing it the first time, it's easier every time after.
I put my barrel shroud back on then took an orange dead blow hammer to it with a few solid swings all the way around and it eventually came loose. Took me about 3-5 minutes, but I took my time and was constantly checking. Also, any oil you can get between it and the receiver might help.
Manual? What manual? Mine came with very little in the way of info. Yes, it had instructions with good pictures for field stripping, but 80% of it was safety cya and only a couple of pages about the actual firearm. Great video btw!
I agree the Manual left a lot to be desired in the way of info, so some of the disassembly was trial and error, but shooting this bullpup more than makes up for it! Thanks for watching & for the kind words. Stay safe out there.
To be complete, it is a gas operated piston. The piston captures gas pressure to move the bolt, as opposed to a gas impingement system, such as the M16 5.56 rifle (and most AR15) uses. Pause the video at 1:20 and you can see the large spring. The right end of it disappears inside a short black tube. That is the gas chamber. Inside that gas chamber is the piston which goes around the barrel, like a donut. Further to the right, towards the end of the barrel, there is a small hole in the side of the barrel, which allows burned propellant gases into the gas chamber, which causes the piston to push the bolt back away from the barrel chamber and towards the butt of the gun, and begin the shell ejection, pickup and chambering process.
@@davidrowley8251 Interesting. Do you know if it is a short stroke gas piston? I was wondering how the recoil would be. My Mossberg 930 is gas operated and it has a gas piston assembly but it is far from reliable as a traditional gas piston, because it accumulates a lot of carbon and lead around the gas cylinder.
Sorry for not responding, I didn't get any notifications of comments. I'm sure you've got it figured out by now, but it needs to be turned clockwise, opposite of righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.
If you got the stainless steel nut off, you'll just need to compress the main spring to get the bolt out. You may need to hold it at a downward angle and using a slight twisting/shaking motion, let the bolt fall onto a soft surface. If you still have an issue, upload a quick vid and send me the link and I'll see if I can assist further
@Delta7Nine I also replied to you about this. I believe he is talking about the entire carrier..... its very tight inside the upper receiver and I believe needs to be hammered out the first time... I cant remove mine either.... waiting for further advice
I can't get the upper and lower to "re-marry". The front of the upper lifts up while inserting the rear, and vice versa. The instruction manual says to push the bolt a little backwards while connecting the upper and lower. And that didn't work. Any advise?
@@Delta7Nine Me too! I had just found what was wrong after commenting. I couldn't remember if the sling attachment is supposed to be on the left side or right side. I'm all set now :)
My rear pin is really stuck in there the one most forward came out no to big of a deal but I cannot push out the other? Did y’all have trouble? Any idea why it’s binding? Any tips?
Rear pins on bullpups are usually more difficult than the front pin. I own 2 of these and the rear pin is a bear to push out, I can't do it with just my hand.... but nothing a simple punch can't take care of. Just make sure you're using the right size punch that is the same size as the hole and not a punch that is too small and will deform the "detent wire" inside of the pen.
Great video, very thorough and easy to follow. You should have more subs. I will give you a shout out on my channel when I review this shotgun in a few weeks.
@@Delta7Nine I shared and pinned this video to my tabletop review I did of the FD12. No need for me to make a video with this one doing such a good job. czcams.com/video/1cf89Q15jtM/video.html

@@Delta7Nine Thank you. That looks like a pretty slick setup. I suppose the shround helps a tiny bit with heat as well. Have you had continued good luck with the weapon?
@@lexwaldez I did have good luck with it after break in, but I ended up selling it to finance another project. In hind-sight, I really wish I hadn't, and will most likely purchase another in the near future
Thanks for watching!! Some can be REALLY difficult... I would say try to add a few drops of oil and then pull straight up and kind of wiggle it back and forth at the same time. Hopefully it'll work.
@@Delta7Nine thanks for reply. Since there is no detente pin or other means of it held it place, I used a punch and small hammer to punch it out from the other side
Thanks for watching! I honestly don't know as I only have the flip-up MBUS-style sights installed, but they didn't move at all. The Shotgun actually shoots really soft, I think due to the large main spring.
I've had a horrible experience with my Black Aces Tactical Bullpup Pro-Series semi-auto. The lower is injection molded and mine is warped so badly that the upper doesn't fit properly. I need to DRIVE out the takedown pins with a hammer and punch. The safety selector has a very high effort, partially due to interference from the warped lower. The trigger effort is extremely high. That's partly a common challenge with remote triggers on bullpups, but the lower warpage creates additional friction. It doesn't reliably cycle target loads. Even after a couple hundred rounds it fails to properly eject around 10% of the time. I contacted the manufacturer to fix the issues under warranty, but it took months to get a very poor response. The CEO's comment was, "Sir, it seems the gun functions proper, are we correct in that?" Clearly he and I have different opinions of how a proper firearm should function. I bought this for 3-gun competitions, but it's going to take a lot of work to get it where it needs to be.
Sorry to hear about that man... I haven't had to deal with their Customer Service or CEO, but definitely not the answer anyone wants to hear. Keep us updated on the progression, will you?
Like the good doctor said above, it can be a bit tough to get it out. You'll just need to bear down on the firearm and pull while twisting a bit at the same time. If that doesn't work, upload a quick vid of the issue and I'll try to assist as much as I can. Thanks!
I had the same problem and it drove me nuts cause I didn't want to break it. No matter how hard I pulled, it just wouldn't come off. A buddy of mine suggested placing a flat-head screwdriver on the opposite side of the charging handle, tap it with a hammer and it will come out. Same thing with the locking pins, only this time using the screwdriver as a wedge while pressing on the pin. Both worked for me.
@@Delta7Nine I just performed it now as we speak. I just sat on the upper and tightened it down. Did you ever experience problems when barrel nuts coming loose?
@@nickadams2951 No, never came loose and I put quite a few rounds through on a number of different occasions. I wouldn't over-tighten it, personally, because it'll be really hard to get back off later. Just snug it up real good and you SHOULD be good to go.
I haven't seen/read anything as to actual intervals, however, I am pretty OCD about keeping my firearms clean (and actually enjoy the process as well, haha) so I would clean mine after every few times of shooting, if not each time. But again, that's just me. Most people would probably only do so if the firearm starts functioning differently or is noticeably & overly dirty. Hope that helps some and thanks for checking out the video!
Make sure you’re turning it Righty-loosey - opposite of normal. If it still gives you trouble, you may need to hit it with a little heat gun near the threads (but not too much). Hope one of those works!
Hey Spenc, thanks for checking out the Vid... the charging handle can be a bear. The only suggestion I have is to put some gun cleaner/oil/CLP in at the base and let it sit for a bit, then try to pull it out. Some people have had to use pliers, but BE VERY CAREFUL so you don't ruin the handle or bolt. Sorry I don't have much more in the way of help on that, but hope the above helps!
@@Delta7Nine the charging handle and shroud are off..I can't get the forearm stock to slide off, iv heard u really have to tap it but I think the grease they put on it created a seal and is making it so much harder to come off
Apologies, I misread... I thought you were saying the charging handles wouldn't come out. The operator handle may need to really be tugged on to get off the first time. On this, wouldn't bang on it too much but wedge it int your hip and tugging against the operator handle while pulling the pistol grip into your body. You can try to cleaner/oil idea around the seal, maybe even a hair dryer to heat it up a bit. Again, hope this helps. If not, keep commenting and we'll get this fixed for you!
@@spencerhighley4231 Yeah, having it cycle some rounds should definitely help. If not, shoot a video of the problem so I can get a better look, or, it may just need to go back to the MFG to be repaired

Apologies it didn’t live up to your standards, Professor 😂 I’ll try to do better
In all seriousness, though, it does say “Quick” in the title… at the end of the day, I couldn’t find a video on the subject, so I made one to help others. Stay safe!
I lost my manual last year thank you so much I’ve never been able to take apart my fd12!
You're welcome! Awesome to hear that it helped
Can I change the charging handle to the right side?
Thanks for checking out the video. Yes you can, it’s ambidextrous. Just pull it out of the left, as shown and re-insert into the slot on the right
