Looks like this thread has run its course. I'd like to thank you guys for your informed and helpfull replies! Unfortunitly at the moment it seems that it would be easier to get a unicorn than one of these, but I've learned a fair bit and I'll be able to dig this thread up when and if...

Is your shotgun some kind of long barreled 3-shot bird gun or something? Actually even if it is you might be able to get an extended tube and defensive barrel for less than the cost of a new rifle. Though sometimes those are surprisingly expensive. If you have a decent defensive...

Mistwolf, nobody is arguing about the assault rifle point. Unfortunitly the pattern of weapon we're talking about in this thread may soon be again considered an assault weapon which also includes things that look like submachineguns as well as shotguns with a seven shell tube and pistol grip...

Thanks for the replies! I noticed the comments on weight being high but recoil not being so bad. In that case, do any of you have any thoughts on the short and light DPMS rifles like the Sportical and the even lighter Compact Hunter? Would you advise against m1a varients in favor of more...

I was thinking I should have something more than a .223 for hunting anyway, and while I at least hope we'll be able to get some pattern of hunting rifles in many calibres in the future it is looking a bit dim for certain patterns of rifle that would earn the "assault" label and it might be...

Practically I think if there is more political pressure than can be countered for something like magazine capacity limitations than our best bet may actually be going for a compromise in the sense of pressuring some other "common sense" measures that are relevant. I'd suggest pushing for...

With their track history I think it's really unfair to and innacurate to say that the NRA has "backed down". At most you could say that you think their tactics of being patient aren't wise. However I'm inclined to think they're being wise about it. First all what could they say at...

Everybody knows that if it bleeds it leads. And I don't think it would be right to completely stop the story. I'm just talking about them not glorifying the killer and making them famous, which is what they want and what the copycats that will follow will want. It would be nice if public...

Ok, so at first glance this is a "save lives" thing as opposed to a RKBA thing. However I think we all appreciate the link between the frequency of mass murders and the chances of losing 2nd Amendment rights. This occured to me as they were flashing the mug shots of individuals involved in...

That looks to be exactly the sort of thing I'd want if it doesn't mess with the ergonomics. Though the "not that well made" bit isn't very encouraging.

That might explain the other part of the failures mentioned in the article. I could see where a lack of elbow grease could fail to get a shell out but I didn't see where it could cause jams/failures to feed. I was thinking maybe it was that the shell would get caught on the ramp or...

First, thanks for the reply, this particular board seems relatively lightly traveled for such an active forum. Anyway it appears the particular thing you purchased isn't availible to the general public. However as far as I can tell the only part of it that you can't get through Novatech is...

I know there are laser sights where a pressure from your middle finger activates the beam and applying less pressure turns it off. I was wondering if anybody makes anything like that for tactical lights. The reason being that it occurs to me there is a distinct chance I'd want to be doing...

I don't own one yet, but I'm planning to get one soon. Hence why I'm here now asking noob questions. :p

Ok wait, is this a new way a pump jams up? I.e. so far I've got: -shortstroke -just doesn't like a certain ammo I thought those were the only two there were barring something obviously a bad idea or something having to do with lack of maintenence. I'm adding: "babying" the action...

First of all, thanks for the very high quality replies. It's an impressive bunch here. Do you know if the semi-automatic "cousins" of pump guns within the same brands tend to have these same issues, or if for about twice the price they work these kinks out? Also I think reviewers would be...

I'm in the market for a shotgun and so I've been going through some issues of Rifleman to check out the reviews. One thing that popped back into my head was that an article for a budget pump gun said something like: "We had a number of failures (to feed, extract, and jams). However the...

Well, if it happens after they've operated the slide than it could very easily be user error. Failing to go into battery halfway through a clip seems like an odd thing to depend on grip, less they're coming into contact with the slide, and I would think they'd notice and mention something...

What sort of failures? A stovepipe can be a grip thing. If the slide launched off the frame you have other issues.

First of all solid replies in this thread. Thanks for the "origional" of that one picture I got from here. Though I'd be careful to avoid a calibre discussion. Thanks for that. Although as examples go those are relatively slow rounds and they don't really pancake. They take a more...
