Ohioans For Concealed Carry Discussion Forums

Went to range yesterday, and deflowered my virgin shotty, I ran 5 boxes of 00 buck and two boxes of slugs.

SWlugs were dead on, but the 00 buck shot about a foot high consistently. This was with putting the bead dead center on the target from 25 yards.

Everything fed properly, ejected properly, and the gun earned its new name, "Thumper" my shoulder is feeling it today!!!

Quit you moaning about your shoulder. Go out and shoot 75 to 100 clay pidgeons then you can complain. Hint, I found out that if you shoot them all the time you become immune to the sore shoulder syndrom.

Mine hurt for three days after 75 rds.

I have one as well, so I'll add to the report. It's the 18.5 inch 6 shot Security Model.

I've shot, disassembled and cleaned mine on about 3 trips so far... The only two grips I have are 1) The Bolt Slide inside is showing some pitting and surface rust... I've been meaning to paint it or something, but haven't got to it. 2) After a few shots, it seems like it gets harder to rack it. I haven't experimented with any dry lubes or other oils but it seems to get worse and worse as time goes on. I also lube the actual foregrip around the magazine tube and that seems to help.

For a cheap shotgun, it does what I want it to do (which is sit by my bedside, fire when the trigger is pulled, and blow up some melons or whatever is on the other end. I've had zero malfunctions in the 350-500 rounds I've shot, and I can deal with the paint or bluing wearing quicker than a Remington or anything else that costs 2-3x as much. I like it

I see your point, but your not shooting clay pigeons with 3" 00 buckshot or 3" magnum slugs either. I go dove shooting in MD every year, and have put over 250 rounds of birdshot into the air throughout a single day of shooting, (GREAT day of dove hunting btw) and wasnt sore, so in my eyes, 20 rounds of 3" mag buckshot, and then 3" mag slugs, my shoulder earned it!!!

You should try some other brands of buckshot to see if the POI changes, if you haven't already of course.
