New shotguns, MAG-FED and SHORTIES - NEW PICS

I've been thinking about getting a nice little shorty, but have what is probably a stupid question about the Mag version...does the magazine get in the way of operating the action? Watching various videos this doesn't seem to be the case, but when I look at where my forearm is with the slide back on my Mossberg, it appears that there would be some skin missing if a box mag was attached.

Or is it a fast learning process to hold the slide differently? "If it hurts when you do that...then don't do that" kinda thing. :redface:

They are not Mossbergs. They function fine.
 
I'm sure they function well, but if part of my forearm has the potential to be co-located with a magazine sticking out from the bottom of a shotgun while operating the slide I'd like to be forewarned of the event.

Or do Remington/Grizzly shotguns have a different method of slide movement than Mossbergs?
 
hold/ pump the forend from the front and this well for happen, to far back and you will slam your arm into the mag.bbb

Hey, bbb, in your video (on another thread, I think), you show the Grizz Mags with your top rail/stock adaptor - did you have to remove the original sights to install it, and are those barrels from 12.5 Grizzlys?
 
I guess I hold the slide differently than most, in that my forearm drops almost vertically from the slide. I should have just done this from the start, but I taped a piece of plastic 5 shells long to the shotgun, and just as I suspected there would be two dissimilar items trying to exist in the same space...with painful results.

Looks like I'll either need to learn a new grip, or stick with the tube-fed versions.

Oh there's your problem! your a south paw :D



I tried a grip like that and it is the oddist most uncomfortable hold, and messes up my stance.

twist your elbow out from under the gun and you'll be fine.

The pîcs posted in that thread show the mag feed shotgun, but the barrel has been changed to a custom 14` with breecher.
But on the 15`barrle with iron site i just cut it off and finish it off with cold blueing.

Canam, looking at "The Other Thread" the wood on those actually looks pretty nice, so here goes my question...

What are the chances of a Grizzly, with NO choke, 12inch barrel, and wooden stocks?

Something like the pic..

We have wood coming. But, totally different factory, so I have not seen the pump wood.

Any chance you can change factory fore end tube diameter to match Remington's. This way aftermarket fore ends can fit instead of creating "custom" parts that now only work on a Grizzly.
