I have heard of the magazine cap flying off, it's a terrible design.

I have seen 2 older models of the A400 that the cap broken and flew off, in both cases the guy's were shooting 3 1/2" shells, have not seen or heard of one lately. Were you shooting 3 1/2" when it happened.

Hunting partner had his come loose the other day, said it was the first time he'd had it happen. He thought it was the extractor pin bending again, which he's had 3-4 times. He's had that gun for 16+ yrs that I've been hunting with him.
