Still haven't figured out what this is good for

[Mark Hartig]

Too heavy and kicks too hard to one hand it, took 15 months for paper to come through, and muzzle blast is ferocious but I still think it's cool

If you cant figure it out than you need to share it with others.. I can only imagine the potential uses!! you had 15 months to plan..

[Mark Hartig]

So I'm a piss poor planner

Same thing you'd use any short shotgun for:

haha no you have fun work to do!

[Mark Hartig]

I finally had the opportunity to go out with a 100 pack of 12 GA birdshot and learn how to run this thing. It was a tiring session, and learning to shoot from the hip did not come until about a quarter of the way thru the shells as this is something I've never practiced before. Have it down now and yes it got fun.

Don't think it'll be much good past 15 yards or so as both bird and buckshot patterns open up quite a bit but I can't complain since that's not what it was made for. Good little machine that I've warmed up to considerably

 

Regards,

Mark

This should get you past 15 yards... it's a 2ga

[DNP]

15 yards is point blank with that bad boy. That’s almost cheating.

I like your style but that could be hard to hide under my coat

No such thing as cheating when there's a need to treat with varmints

Don't hide it under your coat, that makes it an SBS or AOW - both require tax stamps and approval process.  It has an OAL over 26" for a reason, so you "can't conceal it...".   Just FYI. 

It's 26 3/4" with the factory Raptor Bird's Head Grip (and it's sling stud)...

[Mark Hartig]

Thanks 98, but this is not a Shockwave it's a Compact Cruiser factory built on the 500 action

It's already stamped and registered as AOW since it has an OAL of 17 1/8"

[98Z5V]

Well, Shiit then - Guess I read, and didn't even look at the first pic in your first post in this thread...

Try some of these:

Aguila Minishell Ammunition 12 Gauge 1-3/4" 5/8 oz #7-1/2 Shot

Aguila Minishell Ammunition 12 Gauge 1-3/4" #4 and #1 Buckshot 11 Pellets

Federal Shorty Shotshell Ammunition 12 Gauge 1-3/4" #4 Buckshot 15 Pellets

Thanks I've thought of trying some of these. First, though, I'd have to get one of those rubber adaptors so they'd feed correctly. There's an outfit in Texas that makes them for about $15 apiece if I recall right

They work - I'm running two of them, and got my Gun Pusher to start carrying them.

[DNP]

There’s video out there of one of those 3” barreled guns being shot. Wouldn’t want to…but it works.

I noticed that the Shorty 1 3/4" adapter only fits sissy pump shotguns, well us owners of REAL pump guns (Winchester, Remington and Ithaca), haven't weakened so much that we need these Sissy 12 Ga. loads anyway!

Owners of those guns couldn't have anyone dream up anything that would work, because those guns are inferior.  The superior shotgun wins, in this case...

My 870 doesn't need that little dohicky to feed those mini shells.

The Mossberg does though.

i dont know , but it was aimed at me i think , he quoted my post , i cant make any sense of the rant to tell what exactly he was saying though 

[DNP]

I’m thoroughly confused as Mack was the first to bring up the shorties…then 2 years later he’s calling folks sissy-men for using them. @mrmackc , you haven’t gone democrat on us now, right?  
 

He’s got more life experience than most of us combined…he can say whatever he wants as far as I’m concerned. I just sit here confused and say yes sir.

That's what I do most of the time, unless I'm aiming to rile him up or jerk his chain...  

I'd swear he's my dad, somehow...
