Hey guys, not sure how to phrase the question...but a close friend just bought a Deyra MK12 and as I'm sure most know, they're a flat-top/AR-style, NR shotgun. We had it out for it's test shoot this past weekend, the gun ran like a top...just a ton of fun! :) However, were one to use it on moving targets...it would be a huge advantage if you could get a lower cheek weld. The AR-style stock it's equipped with runs straight back from the receiver and is better-suited to the flip-up sights..or some optics. Since I've never owned an AR, I'm not up to speed on what's out there...but do any of you know if a stock with a lower comb is available?

Thanks for taking a moment to reply!
 
There is nothing. One of the advantages of the AR style/design is that recoil is directly inline with the stock which reduces muzzle rise. The Ar-ish shotguns are intended for clays and the like, lowering the comb is not an option and you're better off using a different shotgun.
 
The AR's straight-line receiver extension that contains the recoil spring and buffer requires a straight-line stock.
 
does the Derya bolt cycle back to the buffer tube?
The Typhoon F12 does not so a folding stock or AR stock adapter is an option. But I do not own a Derya so I couldn't comment on it specifically.
 
Thanks guys. After posting, I did some Googling...and see the issue. My lack of AR experience shines through on the topic. lol Anyhow, I don't know enough about the MK12, but I don't think there is an option to do this. Alternative, maybe lower sights for the flat-top rail will have to do. It has cheap-ish/plastic flip-up ones.

All of that aside...the gun is a ton of fun, and while I can't see ever owning one myself...I'm grateful to have this one to play with when I want to. :)

Thanks again.
 
I don't claim to be more than a casual shooter of sporting clays and skeet but there is the old adage that "shotguns are pointed, not aimed." In fact a know more than a couple competitive guys that black out or remove brass beads entirely. Have you patterned the shotgun? That should give you a better idea what's going on with your shotgun. It also may be that the 19 inch bore is the limiting factor on the equation - there's a reason that most clays guns have 30 + inch tubes up front

At least a couple times a year I take my 18" combat shottie out to break clays. Can you do it? Absolutely. Is is the best tool for the job? Certainly not. Is it a hoot either way? No doubt about it.
