Bought this gun from EyeGuy a couple years ago for my kids to shoot. After 1 season, I took the barrel off to clean it and now I can't get it back on. I don't know if the part that slides onto the magazine tube shrunk or the magazine tube expanded slightly, but it won't slide back on. Any thoughts?

Do you have any pictures? The barrel and gas port should slide right over the magazine tube... is there a constriction there or is it actually in the receiver? Is the Piston installed upside down on the magazine tube?

we have the sa-08 20 gauge and it is a little tricky to get it all lined up and slide together. Compared to a remington and benelli
make sure you're putting the little piston ring back in the right way as well

If all else fails, contact the manufacturer.
