Do you like your OUTLAW ?

I think you're the only one who actually took me seriously, calm down, you won't loose any sales because of my comment:runaway:

I don't agree
I got to admit I ordered an Outlaw because of the hype here in the shotgun forum and after reading the negativity about this shotgun here in this Thread I almost cancelled my order (I even went as far as calling CanAm to switch my order to the Grizzly, but they were sold out). I'm glad I came to my senses when talking to the gentlemen on the phone and decided to stick with my original order.
Lets face it, we all know this isn't the end all/be all of shotguns and I'm sure not one of us are buying this shotgun with the intention of it being are next grouse gun (would be a cool grouse gun tho). It's a inexpensive fun gun for the range/back 40 and if you don't like it, then don't buy it. For the one that got one or ordered one, have fun with your new toy

I wouldn't count on it--I ordered one on Jan 5 and I am still "queued". I check every couple days but no change yet. I noticed they just got Type 97's in a couple weeks ago so I'm guessing they're still busy with paperwork and processing.

However, I see no need to take the piss out of these outlaw shotguns. They are not pretenders in any way- They are inexpensive and fun...

Unless they start blowing up (and I doubt they will except for the same reasons other shotguns blow up, like obstructed bores) why are we even discussing proof testing...

At the very least, owning a Outlaw shotgun will cause some nervous Nellies to cry "That is a prohibited weapon" and even better, it probably annoys some ant gun people.

Isn't that + fun enough to justify its' existence?:dancingbanana:

Well said, Gatehouse!:shotgun:

Anyone with a Remington can look for the REP stamp on the barrel. On my Marlin it's a JM. Those are proof marks..

Unhunh, and Remmy has never made a bad or potentially unsafe product inspite of its little stamp?



Claybuster said:
Yes guns sometimes blow up due to barrel obstructions, incorrect ammunition, poor repairs, alterations and guns that are out of proof due to age or abuse. One of the methods to prevent gun blow ups is a standardized method of proof testing which the Chinese evidently do not have.

As gatehouse mentions, Sako had alot of guns blowing up, for none of the reasons you cite above, so what does that prove?

Some on these threads remind me of retarded beavers. You know? Retarded beaver chews through 4 legs and never does realize that his balls were what was caught in the trap.:D
 
We just spoke to the folks at the shotgun factory regarding proofing. Contrary to my previous belief, they do proof all the guns that leave the plant. One round per barrel is an overpressure prrof load, then another is fired which is a high recoil round to test structural strength.

I can't wait for my backpacker, too bad its not going to be here until after the holliday weekend, I was hoping that 2 weeks for an item that was listed as "in stock" and "payment through your local bank for immediate shipment of your order" would mean slightly faster than this.

I wonder if the forearm fell off when they did it?

To inject my two bits here. I have the single backpacker shotty. Love the look of it, better than expected. Feels good in my hands. But when it falls apart in my hands from the recoil (as it did several times when I took it out) it's embarrassing. I have owned Norks of all types and understand the tradeoff between cost and cosmetics. But between the single-shot and the Nork Tok pistol (jam-amatic) I just found myself asking "Why can't the bastards just be functional, ferchrissakes?". And in checking other threads here, I know I'm not the only one.

I'm prepared to do some minor fiddling with 'em rather than paying to send them back (only to pay for the shipping again on a replacement) but I'm not a handy sort by any means, so who knows if I will be successful. And I will wait longer next time before leaping on a big sale. This time I was one of the "early adopters" :redface:

We cover the shipping for warranty work, or just write RTS on the box and mail it back. As for the hand guards, only 2 people have contacted us out of the large number sold, so as these things go, we are quite happy with the quality of the guns. It looks like it will be a simple fix for those that are having HG problems.
 
This shoud have been a simple thread. Do you like YOUR outlaw? This was, I think, addressed to the people that have one with real gun in hand experence. Lets hear from those and the snipers can just read along.
 
I'm very happy with mine, for 300$ it's pretty well put together. I put about 7 or 8 shots of Winchester 1.125oz #2s out of it the other day and the forend stayed on. I still need to do some POI tests to see if I have to change the bead.

I forgot about Remington!! FOr years the had a trigger problem- It was sometimes possible for the rifle to FIRE when the safety was pushed from SAFE to FIRE but without pulling the trigger!:runaway:
 
I just ordered mine today. For the money I think it will make a fun addition to my collection.

Has anyone tried loading black powder for this? I think I am going to load some # 6 shot in some magtech brass I have. It should produce an interesting show.
 
OK since I last posted I went to pattern test my outlaw.
After about 10 shots of full powered buckshot ,20 target loads and 10 slugs the forearm is definetly a little loose but still solid. I think it's loosened as much as it's going too, acceptable but not optimum. I've put hundreds of rounds through my other doubles without anything like that.

As for the patterning the right barrel shoots high, about 4 or 5 inches at 10yds, it's tight but high.

The left barrel on the other hand is way off, about 7" high and to the left at 10yds, I think If I aimed level at a bears head at 10yds a slug would completely miss it. I don't think they even tried to regulate the barrels, the right one is OK but the left is completely off. I'm not impressed. In hindsight I would not have bought this gun. As it is it's fun but for any serious work inadequate. Definitely no good for CASS or even home defense.
