  1. Since the USAS-12 doesn't have a gas adjustment,it only cycles high-brass (unless newer ones are different?).And,it's several pounds heavier.Also,I had the action on mine lock up completely once,from some neglect on my part (not cleaning in between shoots).That being said,if you can afford shooting only high power stuff,it's always an attention getter at the range.Honestly,the last time i shot mine,though,was right before I got my 1st. S-12!.

    If you could find some more oem mags,maybe you could cut and plastic-weld them together.I believe Cobra perfected this back in the day,before aftermarket mags were available.

  2. Bounce12,sabot rounds are designed for rifled barrels.They are comprised of a bullet encased in a two-piece shell.The rifling imparts a spin to the bullet,the shell seperates and falls away upon exit from the barrel,and the bullet itself travels farther and more accurately than a slug.Excellent for hunting :super:

  3. Joe,Patriot,thanks for posting some pics.I had a great time.

     

    I didn't bring any high brass stuff to the shoot Sunday,but had previously tested Winchester 00/000 buck/slugs,Rem. 00 buck/slugs,Federal 00 buck/slugs,and Estate/Independence/Rem./Winchester game loads.Everything cycled flawlessly. :up:

     

    Thanks,Mike!.

  4. Joe,just wondering why it matters so much to you,this idea of 'proving' to everyone that Mike is wrong and you're right?.Even if his drum arrives after the date he stated,so what?.Do you honestly think that if you keep prodding him you'll somehow win this argument?.Take a break-wait and see.

    I generally don't assume someone's a liar unless they give me some reason to.I've had several business dealings with Mike since joining here (about 16 months ago) and he's always been a man of his word.Has he yet given you any real reason to doubt him?.If you came here and said "I work at the mold factory,and there's no way it will be done by July 20",fine.Until then,why not agree to disagree?.Seems like you're offering your 'opinion' about the subject as fact,then beating Mike over the head with it!.

    Not trying to pick a fight,just can't wrap my head around this whole 'timeframe' hangup.

  5. swampman,you lucky bastard!!!.I paid $400+ for my drum about 10 years ago.For that price,if you'd found it sooner (before s-12 drums were right around the corner) it would have been a great conversion project.I wanted to do it with mine,but couldn't bear to chop it up-now I don't have to (thanks,Mike!).

  6. Does anyone else like the name,"MD-20" ?.

    I do like this name. Like Skull said, it can be dual purpose. Great suggestion Eric.

     

    I thought it should be named after you,Mike,since you designed it,and all.And I liked the 'military ring' it has to it.

     

    1911,do you remember 'Boons Farm Strawberry Hill' and 'Malt Duck'?.Two of my other favorites in High School! :lol:

  7. Sorry,tigerclaw,I didn't know the article wasn't yours.

     

    I agree,if a band of roving thugs intends to ambush and/or kill you,you're probably shit-out-of-luck.But,not everyone lives in the types of neighborhoods where these things happen.Like I said,in my city the drug problem has steadily increased over the last 5 years or so,but the population was already heavily armed beforehand (PA/Blair County is ccw friendly).So,most of the muggings are occuring where these guys live,they're not driving into nice neighborhoods and attacking people (if things keep getting worse,who knows?),as they know there's a much greater chance of facing armed resistance.If/when I need to venture into the bad areas of the city,I expect trouble,and 'pack' accordingly,and i'm well aware of the tactics they use to get your guard down.As I said before,i'm paranoid to a fault,so I always expect the worst,and act accordingly (call 911 on the cell instead of running up to assist the curbside 'victim').

    There are some troublemakers in the neighborhood where I work.I found that most times these guys will look you in the eye to see if you're scared/intimidated,and if you glare right back at them,they say 'hi' and keep going,figuring you for a baddass or someone with nothing to lose.

    All that being said,i'd still rather be in trouble with the law for drawing on someone than be dead in a back alley for not trying.
