Just bought a really nice Wingmaster for $250.

What stock did it come with? I've got a wood one that has been polished up nice with BLO and it doesn't have a gun to go with it anymore. Just needs a new recoil pad and wood screws if I'm remembering right.

Holyshit that magpul stock is uuugly. Wouldnt need adjustable comb if they didn't give it so much drop at comb to start with. Looks way more bulky and heavy than it needs to be.

There are a bunch of these on GB right now:

Beretta 12 ga 1201FP Tactical Auto 3 in http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vi...?Item=290559250

They are like $500.

Gogogogo or meh?

That's pretty solid. 1201s are nice.

Nicer then a 930SPX?

Check what kind of aftermarket it has also before commiting to it over something like the 930.

Here's the scoop on the "weird" loading: The bolt carrier is held back on the last round, which locks the loading gate/shell lifter into the "down" position until the carrier is returned to battery via the bolt release button, thus blocking access to the tube magazine. This is to ensure that the first round is loaded through the ejection port, directly into the chamber. This is necessary because there are only two ways to physically release subsequent rounds from the magazine onto the shell elevator:
The first is to pull the trigger. The problem with this option is that it places undue stress on the long and thin firing pin if there is not a round in the chamber. In addition, the rear of the firing pin is knob-shaped, which allows it to be retained by a solid pin that passes horizontally through the bolt carrier. Repeated dry-firing will chew this knob up because it gets rammed up against the retaining pin. If you're in a serious hurry it's ignorable – just remember that its a no-no when you're playing with the gun at home.
The second is to push in on the small button that protrudes from the very front of the trigger guard. This drops down the loading gate and then releases a shell. The button is small, so practice with it before you need it. Using the release properly will also permit you to increase the capacity of the weapon by one round if you're fairly dexterous and have some spare time. Since I'd like to keep on the good side of the Beretta folks, I'll let you figure this one out for yourself while strongly recommending that you only try it with dummy ammo!
If you simply hit the bolt release (the big button on the right-hand side of the receiver) to close on an empty chamber, load shells into the magazine, and cycle the action, you will not be ready to fire. Instead, your first trigger pull will produce a "click-thud" as the firing pin hits empty space, followed immediately by the first round hitting the front of the trigger guard assembly. Cycling the action a second time will then produce the desired result.

This is more than just annoying: if a feedway stoppage occurs, you must remember to pull the trigger to advance the next round after clearing the jam. For most of us, years of playing with a variety of semi-autos has ingrained the notion that working the action will always chamber another round. The procedure for transitioning to a slug is thus one of the following

I kinda want one for :detroit: reasons, but if I'm going to drop cash on a autoloader shotgun, I want to be able to get a longer barrel for clays too, which seem to not exist for those.

It's pretty similar to a Benelli, but very different if you're used to an 870 or a 500.

In other news, anyone know if a side saddle for a 20ga. 870 will fit a 20ga. Charles Daly semi-auto?

Velcro side saddle. I have one on my (12ga) 500 and it works like a dream.

Side note - Aguila mini birdshot is some of the filthiest ammo ever.

Range report that $20 shotgun toy!

Then sell it and buy a real gun!

Lucky you. I dunno, the KSG is kind of a novelty item. I mean, you could sell it but then again you'll never have a shotgun so...interesting.

bunnielab posted:

Yeah, I would keep it just for the novelty.

Also please try and see if it can cycle mini shells.

NovemberMike posted:

I think the plan might be to shoot it for a bit, and if I'm not 100% happy with it I'll sell it for whatever overpriced amount it's going for and buy it back it 2-3 years for half the price and with some of the problems fixed. I do not trust their engineering to do it right the first time.

NovemberMike posted:

Supposedly it does, and supposedly you can fit 25 total in there including the chamber. That was the first thing I looked at.

I would keep it then just in case you ever run across something like this:

Any opinions on an old Ithaca/SKB recoil operated 12ga, (the 300)?
There is one for sale locally with a 28" barrel & mod choke, and I've been wanting to pick up something on the cheap side for the range and clay bustin.
The only info I could find online suggested that their owners tended to be pretty happy with them.

NovemberMike posted:

Hmm, after playing around with some snap caps, I'm running into issues short stroking. Not all the time, but also not the kind of thing I'd want in a home defense gun.

Gtab posted:

The gun sort of lends it self to short-stroking. A dude in my office who is a shotgun instructor for prison guards had issues with it as well.

Because it is a stupid piece of poo poo gun.
