Dang that's nice, and it's just going to get better looking too.
Imagine there’s a picture of your favourite thing here.

Was looking at getting a 18" barrel for my 870. Then wanted a semi so started looking at Mossberg 930's, then wanted the best and was looking at the Benelli M4. Then I realized I didn't want to fork over that kind of money, and now I still have a 26" 870.

Anyway, I'm jelly. I love new pew pew days.

A friend of mine has one. Loading it is fun because it does some weird thing where it closes the bolt automatically. I do hate the follower though, I tend to pinch my thumb.

His gun is fussy with ammo. He has full power rings in his so a lot doesn't cycle. Winchester "heavy lead" cheap Wal-Mart bulk cycles it so stock up.

I think they are a breeze to shoot. Almost mushy recoil. I really like them, I've considered buying Israeli surplus from Sarco but can't justify it.

Oh boy is it! Everyone on Curios and Relics Central on FB was all "You're gonna hurt after shooting that, blah blah blah!" But as per usual, they were full of crap.

The long recoil action takes some getting used to. The push is softer but longer than a striker/hammer fired shotgun, and less abrupt, but more forceful than a gas operated or kinetic/impulse action.



Really like it. I've really found that my 03FFL is being used more for old "working man's guns" than milsurps anymore. That Remington 878 Automaster I've got, this Savage 720, old Remington .22s, etc.
