Kel-tec bullpup shotgun
- Thread starter Throttle_monkey1
- Start date
A broken 2$ trigger spring or transfer bar on a prototype demo gun - or a design flaw -
If a design flaw {not present on the RFB with the same trigger design} I'm sure it will be resolved prior to production -
Dont worry - be happy -

As much as I hate recoil, the number one thing I would like to see changed is allowing it to feed 3" shells. My understanding is that the chamber is already 3" so you can fire them off one at a time, but the action will only cycle 2.75". Why not just design the feeding system to handle the extra .25" - in fact if it were my design I would go 3.5", but I know few people would be with me on that one...

Its a tactical shotgun no need for 3 inch
The recoil would not be any different that a stock 870 or M500. In should be less as the stock is more inline with the bore than on the rem or moss shotguns. I would bet that in that video they were test 3" shells.

The KSG has a 3" Chamber, but apparently will only cycle 2 3/4" shells. I suspect they were shooting Buckshot.
The KSG, from a spec sheet I could find, weighs in at 6.9 lbs, and my Mossberg 590A1, weighs in at 7.25 lbs. The felt recoil, "theoretically", should be just about the same. Although, I can get some extra weigh on the Mossberg, total of 19 shells on board, where a KSG would have a max of 14 (doesn't appear to be any place on the KSG to store spare ammo)
If both guns are fired with only a round in the chamber, the felt recoil "should" be quite similar. The KSG probably needs a better butt pad though, from the looks of it!
For the record, I'm with you on this one bro. Nothing wrong with having the capacity for greater firepower!
Choke tubes??
I really, really want one of these but I just have to ask, will it come with an adjustable choke? I would love to take that puppy duck hunting just for looks. I wonder how I would plug the magazine to 2, though.

Perhaps an extra .25” is not an advantage for rabbits, but for many other hunting purposes it would be. For bear defense, those in favor of using a 12ga make that selection because of its ‘knock down’ power; if that is the case then 3” beats 2.75”.
What exactly is the definition of ‘tactical? Saying this is a tactical shotgun is analogous to saying a .338 Sako TRG is a sniper rifle. Either firearm may be used for military purposes, but both phrases give the wrong impression of the civilian firearms community.
72000+ members I figured there would be someone who agreed with me.
For what it worth, I will rarely use 3” shells myself, but why deliberately handicap yourself? What possible downside could there be in allowing 3" shells to feed? The worst thing I could imagine is that it might add some negligible amount of weight (extra fraction of an ounce?). So if there are no downsides it seems illogical not to add a feature that has even only just a little benefit, and I personally think there is more than just a little benefit.
Think about it have you ever heard anyone with a 3" shotgun say "boy I wish this gun only fed 2.75" - likely not. Have you ever heard anyone say "I wish this 3" gun could shoot 3.5 shells" - maybe not with an 18.5" barrel, but you get the idea.
