Warranty Information
Military Armament Corporation stands behind the quality of our firearms. While age and wear cannot be covered under warranty, we believe defective parts, materials, and workmanship to be an unacceptable situation. We warrant our firearms to be free from defects in performance and workmanship for one year from the original retail purchase date. If you have a problem that is directly attributable to the quality of our product, we will make it right to include shipping and handling.
The Military Armament Corporation 1-Year Warranty does not cover any issues related to abuse, improper maintenance, the use of incompatible aftermarket parts or any alteration of the internal components. Likewise, damage caused using improper or incompatible ammunition such as reloaded or other non-SAAMI spec ammunition will also void your warranty. Additionally, sales outside of the United States, unauthorized repair, and modifications to the firearm to include altering a serial number, shall not be covered under warranty.
Military Armament Corporation Lifetime Service Plan
Military Armament Corporation is committed to supporting our customers with services that are above and beyond what is expected. Beyond our 1-year warranty, our Lifetime Service Plan will repair any defect in material or workmanship for the lifetime of the firearm. The Military Armament Corporation Lifetime Service Plan will begin after the 1-year warranty has expired. The Lifetime Service Plan covers material defects; and does not include wear items such as cosmetics, grips, magazines, recoil springs or sights. This Lifetime Service Plan is offered in addition to the 1-year warranty and is not an extension of the warranty.

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.
Pistols typically will need 100-300rds of ammunition, we recommend FMJ ammo for break-in.
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.
Skeet/Cylinder/Improved Cylinder: Rifled Slugs, Buckshot and Bird Shot.
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.
