Is shotgun technology lagging behind?

I don't think the capacity has much to do with it. Italian 1873 Winchester clones with 24"+ barrels, that hold 11 - 17 rounds in the tube get imported all the time. I think the capacity ban only means for detachable box mags.

I think the ATF just doesn't want to import it because it's "non-sporting". Congress, in all of their wisdom, gave them jurisdiction and discretion in these affairs, after all.

Skunk, I don't really know much about Japanese food.
But we have a lot of good seafood here.

As for those of you wanting to test the Neostead, and like to shoot IPSC rifle and shotgun,
make plans to come to Norway next summer.
There is going to be the Norwegian Practical Rifle and Shotgun Championship.

It will be great. Rifle ranges of 1-300meters...


The thing I like about the Neostead is the compactness, and the ability to carry two different loads, and select eighter the right, left or alternating feed tubes.






The Neostead design has changed a little.
The guns produced today have feed tubes and chamber that has bigger tolerances.
I've had some feeding problems with mine, but I'm getting the gun upgraded to second gen.
Mine is a fairly early prod model.

The thing I really like about the Neostead is that it's the first REALLY INNOVATIVE shotgun design to come down the pike in a good while. It takes maximum advantage of what you can do and what you can't do with the current selection of 12 gauge ammunition.

I really want one. If it's reliable and a solid design, I think it'd be about the ulitmate CQB shotgun.

Though, it would be nicer if you could reload the tubes without cracking the thing open, but I don't know if it'd be doable with the design. Still, 6+6+1 capacity is pretty durn good for a shotgun.

Don't understand what you mean by "cracking" it open.
To load, you push a button on top, and up pops the mag tubes.
You then push the shells into the tubes, all the while you still have a round in the chamber, and you can still fire the gun with one hand.
Of course this is a new system, and takes a little getting used too.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Oh, so you can still operate it with the tubes up? That's pretty cool.

 

[Kobun]

Well, you have the one shot in the chamber, and then you will have to close the mag, by pushing down on the tubes, and then pump another round into the chamber.

....I think THIS is what you're looking for.
