Norc 8.5 Tube fed (Pics/Vids! Range report!)

[Eric_911]

Added note, the receiver is not marked "Dominion Arms". It's marked CA PD8-SB. Also not drilled and tapped for top rail.

This new batch must have polymer trigger groups then, eh?

I believe if you replace it with the 12inch LOP, the shotgun will become restricted.
On the SFRC website it said it has 27 1/8 inch overall length. And the standard stock is 14 inch I believe.
But again, I might be wrong.

Mine is a DLASK model 870, and with the Hogue short LOP stock on it, it measures out to 27" almost exactly. Perfect!

I also added a GG&G sling plate, and that added another 1/4" or so, just to be safe.

The ATI stock works and looks real nice on my 12.5"

Nice looking rig. I too have a 6.5" DLASK but my forend looks different from yours. Did you do something custom there?

[Repro77]

Mines an 8.5, and no, DLASK sent it with a hideous pump on it, that are rails on either side, and a very odd strap on the other side. I cut the strap off, and put rail covers on, so as to not cut up my hands when using it. Other than that, its a neat rig.

I hit the range today, put 50 shells and 10 slugs through it. Didn't have a single issue, did very well ejecting the cheapo winchester low "brass" shells that can stick.

I did a quick pattern at 5, 10 and 15M. The optimum range seems to be 10M. I need to get a hang of bead placement, its easy to shoot high. Hopefully this will be improve with the XS big dot.













Check out the spread at 50M. (watch in HD)




I shot some brenneke slugs at 15M. I wish I had a couple boxes of slugs today to really get the hang of it.



I used my last slug to take a 25M shot at this large plastic container. I used a can for a reference point for aim. I aimed at the top part of the can:



I hit right where I was aiming, it jammed the can into the plastic.



One thing to watch out for is the "hand guard" on the forend. It can smash your index finger. Still, it's not that bad and if you adjust your grip it's no problem.


So far I am very happy with it. Tons of fun to shoot.

Good stuff. I recently got one too. Shot slugs, buckshot & heavy field loads: all good. Looking at installing a knoxx stock as well.

you will love the xs sights....i put it on mine..it's the best sight .....


also if you take a tac-star 6 shot side saddle, and cut the holder back to 4 rounds..the extra that sticks forward can be modified to install the rail that came for the top on the side....for light..whatever. won't interfere with slide action (hand passes by light with out any interference). also put a cheap little laser on it...opened it up filled it with non-conductive silicone...now it holds zero and is ressistant to recoil

great little gun...have had no problems at all

Nice work on the banded sight Slim! I poached your photo and put it in the other 8.5" sight option thread..... Is it possible to install it further forward over the bead? Did you modify the band?

Very nice pics and great video. Looks like a good performer. The 2+1 shell capacity is a deal breaker for me, I'd personally go for a 12.5"
Glad you're having fun. Keep at it.

You can get 3 in there by removing the spring holder ratchet piece but its tight.....I agree they should have made it a hair longer so 3 shells could fit in the tube easily.
