I bought a Girsan MC312 with wood furniture last year from Tenda. packed fine, was pristine when delivered, nothing that loose in the box if I remember right. about one hundred shells through it last fall for a break in, with no hiccups.
Thoughts on Girsan MC312 as a budget hunting shotgun?
- Thread starter somethingspecial
- Start date
I'll jump on the bandwagon for future interest, what limbsaver buttpad fit the girsan? Was it a pre fit or grind to fit? wood/synthetic stock?
Thank you - this the information I was looking for
Thats what it looks like but he said it came from the distributor that way. But does make me wonder as the second shotgun he ordered did not arrive with this one
OK thanks for the warning on the Charles Daly - if I cant get the Girsan I wont be buying anything else

Hey y'all - jonesy started a new thread asking about the Limbsaver. I kept the OEM pad in the L- pack so have the number - " 10810 / 10401 " . Makes shooting a stick of slugs a breeze

Update - So when the site sponsors started showing them back in stock, I called the CTC manager and he checked - his distributor had them back in stock and I ended up ordering the 3" model in camo finish - he gave me the same price as the sale price that one of the sponsors had them on for.
When it arrived, the barrel and receiver were each in a sealed plastic bag in the box, and the charging handle had a big rubber knob on it to prevent damage to it and the box. A was packed securely in the box. Definitely not the same as how the one that came in February was packaged. When the manager called the distributor after I refused to take the original one, they offered a 15% discount if I would buy it and I said no thanks. I still think it was a returned firearm and I didnt want anything to deal with it.
Took it out tonight and ran a bunch of WInchester duck loads from the 70's that my father had bought when we could use lead shot. All 2 3/4" magnums. Shotgun functioned perfectly but I can see why others are upgrading to a limbsaver recoil pad. We executed my daughters old laptop computer with it (and we picked up all the garbage). Amazing how many hits it took and still didnt come apart!
Not the most detailed range report but am going to be doing some more shooting with it over the next few weeks. Impressed with it for the price paid.

Picked up a 3-1/2 camo one recently. Cycled 3-1/2 goose loads and 2-3/4 target loads just fine for me. Shot trap with it and did just fine. My buddy had two shells not lock open on empty when using it, so it may be picky with lighter loads. Though I didn't even clean/lube it out of the box so that might get sorted with time and/or cleaning.
I was able to outrun the action fairly easily, unlike my buddies Turknelli (m4 style). Not a consideration for hunting though.
It is quite a bit lighter than my friends A400, which is again good for a hunting gun.
As long as it holds up over time, I would be happy for the price.

+1 for sharing! That's a stand up thing to do.
Limbsavers, I put that on every gun ;-)
So trap shooting last week the fibre optic filament on the front sight detached and is somewhere out in front of the shooting line... The CTC dealer is trying to get a replacement but its not a huge issue as I will be using a magnetic fibre optic over the vent rib. Looks odd with the front sight frame there with no filament in it.
Just wondering if anyone knows what the thread size is on the front sight (assume its metric but dont know)?

The CTC manager came through - he contacted the distributor and they sent a replacement entire front fibre optic sight to replace the one that fell out. I had other fibre optic tubes but none as small diameter as what fell out.

Be careful shooting big steel shot out of them, I bought one as a beater for farm use and ended up having to take 6-7 inches off the end of the barrel.
In my case the barrel 2 inchs behind the choke was 0.712. And shooting 3 inch shells of steel BB down it (Improved cylinder choke at muzzle) caused the barrel to expand before the choke to the point the muzzle is 0.784.
EAA will flat out deny any sort of warranty, and will not deal outside of the US. Along with not supplying who imports for them for parts. ( I did source a barrel myself and they are roughly $200 in canada)
That being said, with the barrel around 22 inchs I still feed it 00 buck and it keeps shooting just the same as it always has and wont quit.

Nominal diameter is 0.729", so yours was 0.017" tighter. Modified choke is listed around 0.705", full at 0.685". That seems really strange, there must have been some defect in the steel. Could there have been a barrel obstruction, even a slight one?
