I've just bought a 1417 with a SAK mod, and very pleased with it. I notice that (in terms of feeding capabilities) it seems to favour Winchester subsonics, Yellow Jackets and CCI Velocitors, but completely hates CCI Stingers and CCI subsonics. The CCI subsonics seem a real struggle to chamber, which appears to be due to a fractionally higher ridge on the bullet. In other words, the 1417 seems to like conical bullets rather than rounded ones. Is this the case in others' experience?

I wanted to find out what the best bore guide for this gun might be. I've ordered a generic one, but is there something specific for this gun? Any other hints as to cleaning? The dealer I got it from said to never clean it, but I can't just leave powder fouling up the thing; that seems to me negligent. Any advice gratefully received
