Specs:
12ga.
Heavy walled, 20" parkerized barrel.
8+1 capacity.
Matte black aluminum receiver.
Synthetic speedfeed stock and corncob forend.
Ghost ring rear sight, orange flared tip front rifle sight.
Parkerized, metal trigger guard.
One piece, parkerized mag tube.
Bayonet lug to accept M7 & M9 bayos.
First impressions:
Action is nice and smooth. I oiled inside the action a bit and the slide arms which made the cycling soft as butter.
This thing is robust, and you can feel it in your hands. The sights are great, and the orange tip is quite obvious when acquiring a target.
I like the rear position of the slide release too. Very easy, very smooth. The safety is nice too, which I'm accustomed to since owning a Mossberg 464.
Shouldering it feels great to me personally. The LOP is long, but its very comfortable to me. I wanted a longer, weighty shotgun that I could abuse and bang around if need be. This is it.
I won't be adding any accessories to this gun, as I enjoy its simplicity.
I chose this model based on its bare bones features, even though it has the Speedfeed stock. It seems to hold and release shells well, but not sure I'll use it that often.
I do like the indent for your thumb on top of the grip area in front of your cheek position.
I honestly think it can't be improved. The stock feels great. Probably the best of all my 12 gauges, and ive always liked the corncob forend.
Plus, we know that this model passed US military tests and is in use by soldiers. So it was designed and fitted in this manner for a reason.
I like pistol grips and shell holders, I have them on other shotguns of mine. But not this one.
No lights, no lazers, no rails, no optics. No way, no how.
This model doesn't hang around long when its in stock, so I'm glad I jumped on it.
Next review will after its first trip to the range. Can't wait!
