Hi! Do you still own this shotgun? I recently bought one and it is missing a piece. Would you be willing to help me out? I need the dimensions of the original piece so I can have a new one milled up

Just found your channel and I'm so excited. You're very much like LSP in the quality and presentation of firearms in your videos and your taste in firearms. I have a Sjogren of my own. I've got a spring coming from Aliexpress that should fit the recoil guide. Also have some 2-1/2" I custom ordered from a retailer. Can't wait to shoot it. I know of someone with a Walther Automatic Shotgun who isn't quite ready to part with it yet. I'm in love with these wacky locked breech guns from the turn of the century. Personally I would love to hear some of your reviews and findings with these firearms. There are very few documented first hand accounts of experiences with these early guns. I too have a couple guns that I can find very little about online: I've got a frommer 1910 i'm going to start trying to load for, as well as a Webley 1910 in 38 Auto. I would love to start shooting some video to share my experiences.
Thanks! LSP is definitely one of my inspirations for video format and gun collecting. Speaking isn't really my strong suit so I may just leave some thoughts in the description, but I'd like to let the videos themselves do the talking. And yes, I would love to see your two 1910s in action for sure!
Just got my china spring today. I ordered the 0.7x6mmx300 spring from here: www.aliexpress.com/item/spring/32669776813.html. I cut it until it just fit in the recoil spring channel and then stretched it out to double it's length and it works great. Before, my Sjogren could not close it's slide if I pointed the shotgun upwards and hit the lifter. Now it can close in this orientation, and closes much more rapidly when held horizontally.
bitfreakazoid - The problems were caused by a weak recoil spring. Check out part 2, once I replaced the recoil spring all of the problems went away! To answer your question, I've been using standard load 1150 FPS roll crimped target loads from RST Shells with great reliability.
Not likely, I've taken one of these apart and there are about a half-dozen parts that all need to simultaneously break in order for the bolt to come off the rails. And they don't appear to be flimsy parts, it's all Swedish tool steel which is really tough. On the off chance they _would_ break, it's more likely that the bolt would simply jam up halfway. It's a lot safer than it looks.
Roll crimp lites are my go to for both the Walther and Sjögren. The star crimp shells are just short enough to cause feeding issues in the elevator when hand cycling, but if your magazine spring is not too strong, it'll feed during operation just fine
I just watched your video to see how it works since i was actually given one of these now on friday, sadly without the barrel or magazine/handle tube thing. Pretty sure those are unobtanium by now since only 5000 was ever made.
Words cannot express how badly I want one of the shotguns. Thank you for the high-quality photos and video, you did an amazing job
Excellent remediation skills. Every hiccup you smoothly and quickly got it back in battery.
Relieved to find no BF1 comments.
Nice shotgun, the bolt flying back and forward is a little scary :P
It certainly was jarring at first, but it's really not as bad as I thought!
@@PhoenixPhart do you think this effect could be reduced to zero if it had new springs? Maybe bolt would be so fast, that eye cant see its movement?
The interesting part is, the designer had a rifle with the same bolt design. Imagine trying to aim that
i like this gun can you tell how to work this shoutgun
just googled the sjøgren for reference, and I saw phoenixphart pop up. long time no see man
balci from old opchan here by the way
Balci! It's good to hear from you again, hope everything's been well!
@@PhoenixPhart All is good here man, nice sjøgren by the way, can't find one in 12 gauge for the life of me.
Have you been coming across 16 gauge models? I heard those were far more uncommon
@@PhoenixPhart ironically, those 16 gauge are all I can find. same problem with the auto-5.

Awesome! I hope it cycles well without any problems. And thanks for the link :)
Nice! I've got one but have only took it out shooting once. Didn't have any problems cycling. Do you use light loads or run regular rounds through it?

Really interesting gun, but in theory, could the bolt malfunction and fly backwards into your face?
No there is a stopper at the back

I can see you went with RST, but which specific ammo did you use. I'm trying to find some to shoot in my own Sjogren but they've got so many options!

@@PhoenixPhart Nice, thanks for the quick reply!
Where did you get it?
Wow great shoot gun

I want one
I’d like one in airsoft
Sweden really likes to make you make the stuff IKEA now you got to put your gun together
Nice
