Thread: Wadda you rekon?

Yeah I know its a Gun City but is it any good for a bit of fun? Do they cycle OK? Do they have anything really shitty? Is it an absolute waste of cash or just some good cheap fun? Anyone got one? I see Josh James review one on You Tube. He's always good for laugh but since he aint paying its not really gospel.

12" with ghost rings?

Its made in China, probably constructed from melted down aluminium cans, asbestos, and ground up dolphin bones. I wouldn't touch one that's for damn sure.

Get a Mossberg 590A1, they are built to last.

I think he's a user here? Hacksaw off the butt too?

I owned one for a while, put 3-4 slabs of target ammo thru it and a "few" cans of surplus buck.

Decided I shot better and faster with a rib and not the ghost ring sights.
The receiver is HEAVEY and the action anything but smooth from the factory-one of those can be fixed but the other can't.

Sold it and spent the $ on a second hand 870 and got it cut down and re threaded for chokes. Much happier.

id go for a Mossberg maverick 88 in that price range a barrel that short wouldn't be much use for anything practical

Yes this is good advice.

If I saw you wandering around my farm with one of those you would be shown the gate quick smart.And that's what you have to think about,first impressions and all that.
A shotgun like that has no practical use.

If I was walking around your farm I would have permission first

you're in SOUTHLAND.

plus, plus, plus

if practical was a prerequisite, at least half the stupid firearms ever made would never have been.

Sorry I missed your post @res.
Thank you. This is what I was after and pretty much expected. I can get an 870 new for $699 which is OK. Plus I can buy a slug barrel.
How short did you chop it? and was it not too expensive to do with choke threading etc?

Thought I let you have a play with a quality shotgun?
Why would you want a cast iron trombone gun?

It's the reference in the ad to a bank robbery that concerns me.

And you witnessed with your own eyes how shit I was with it.
I'd rather put good money into a 223 barrel and a few spare plastic washers
