Depends what you mean by 'tundra'. Regardless of what shotgun you settle on, if that tundra is in Canada, be sure to talk to the border services fellows before you try to take it across the border. "Four legs good, guns bad!"

This cyclic rate is only used on "burst", so that the operator only feels one recoil and the 3 rounds don't spread much going down range. I should think so, otherwise the barrel would be a good candidate for a Viagra ad, even with something like a 30 round mag. I wonder however about the...

Ergosphere - You are absolutely right and thanks for catching me. I will be staying behind and cleaning the blackboards after school. Again.

You cannot beat the laws of physics. KE forward has to equal KE backward. Having said that, you can do a lot to reduce felt recoil while using the same loads. A recoil pad does just that, by slowing down the impulse of the recoiling gun, spreading it out so it becomes more of a push and less...

md7 hit it right on the head. Both are excellent guns and it comes down in the end to personal choice, the way it feels to the user. Some people like steak and some like ribs. Visit the local ranges, find out who is shooting what and explain your situation. Ask to test-fire each of them -...

The .410 is for perfectionists. Fun, but very frustrating. Remember Newton's Laws - for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. That governs recoil, too. Heavy loads or high velocity going forward or a light-weight gun going backwards translates to high recoil. The...

Oddly enough, while I have an 870, my favorite short-barrel shotgun is indeed a Winchester 97. Among other things, there is is no trigger disconnect, which leads to this design's contemporary nickname of 'street-sweeper'. Six rounds as fast as I can cycle the slide. Not that that's all that...

If you postulate that it was originally a Republic of China rifle, it's not hard to believe that it may have seen North Korean service. The PLA was originally armed with a mix of Chinese, Japanese and Russian small arms. While North Korea was primarily armed with Russian weapons post-WW2, it...

I would agree with Cosmoline in one area. Rather than spending a lot of money buying something that does not meet your needs and then spending yet more money modifying it, find a used shotgun from a reputable manufacturer that's still in business. Parts and repairs are a lot easier (cheaper) and...

Effective range of buckshot is about 30 yards, depending on the size. Effective range of a normal slug is 75-100 yards. However, this assumes the weapon can be properly aimed. The beast you are talking about has, so far as I am concerned, an effective range of – literally – about as far as...

Have you got any in particular in mind?

Trying to dig out some facts re a quite old British breechloading revolver. I believe it was used by a Canadian police force years ago. 3 1/2" barrel, approx .44 calibre, centrefire, six shot, loading gate on RH side but cylinder easily removable. Strap is marked DAVID BENTLEY / MAKER...
