vit 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Is anybody here familiar with the C-more XM-26? It uses what look like Saiga 12 mags. Here are a couple of pictures of one with S-12 mag in it. http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh28-e.htm http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/sys.../ground/m26.htm It is interesting to see a US company working on a military contract using a Russian design for the mag.

Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yes I remember seeing those. It is very interesting. I would like to know just how much interacting they are doing and what else the US government is doing along these lines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Superhawk138 202 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 That stand alone with stock attachment would make a fun SBS. xm_26.bmp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vit 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 It would be nice for C-more to sell some of their 5 round mags to us. They look a bit different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pedal2alloy 206 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I think it is just a Russian 5 rounder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I would like to see that muzzle device and magwell up close. I added some light to the image above and made it more visible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sousa 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I got to handle the the XM-26 at last year's SHOT Show. The C-More rep told me that the original prototype XM-26 used Saiga -12 mags. They then made their own mag. I'd bet my ass that they just copied the Saiga mag verbatim. If I make it to SHOT in February, I'll try to get some pics of the mag, magwell, and the follower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 That would be cool to see. I wonder if they have a LRBHO or a better way to load on a closed bolt. Looks like a left side folding charging handle, and maybe that thing on the muzzle is just a cover? It looks to me like it slides over the barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sousa 0 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 (edited) The muzzle thingy is a spring loaded stand off device. Upon twisting, it extends out to provide the nessessary distance needed with breaching rounds. Also, it is NOT a Semi-auto. It's a side handled pump action, so there is no LRBHO. And I would bet that the easiest way to load it is to rack the action open, then load a mag. Edited December 4, 2007 by sousa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wally 2 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Holy $hit I just shot my load, that 12GA under the AR is sweeeet.Tromix needs to step up to the plate on this one!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Good to see those are still around. They were the topic DuJoir around here a few years ago when the supply of mags mysteriously dissapeared. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rocinante 100 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I thought using a magazine for a hand hold was a MAJOR no no. I saw a thread on one of the other AK boards where the fellow had designed a rubber grip to go over a magazine and he got chastised that it was a dumb idea and a good way to lose a hand. Also had pics of Iraqi recruits holding the magazine as a foregrip. Any merit or just more stuff to worry about you shouldn't really worry about? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My buddy who is with the National Guard does that too...I think they are too used to having that magwell up there to hold onto. He did it with my S-12....I thought I was going to witness a mag failure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He did it with my S-12....I thought I was going to witness a mag failure I don't know what would be wrong with using it as a VFG. I used to do it in competitions untill I changed my reload style. It's not ideal (best just to put a vfg on a shotgun) as it's so close to you. But if you have your hand on the mag with a thumb on the release, you save steps/time on your reloads.... There may be tactical reasons, but as far a jamming up the gun it never gave me problems. As for the cmore, there's not much better place to put a real vfg. In fact, there's not much real estate for your hand anywhere ... Edited December 18, 2007 by kmoore Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vit 0 Posted May 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Some pictures of the mag: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
325time 1 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 One of those was used in the movie Ironman. The M4 had a sleeved flash hider though. It did give the rifle the mean look it was missing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE_HUNTER 2 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I saw that in action on a Jet Lee movie once.I think it was called "The One" or something.....I'd rather have a M203 under an AR for battle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a neat little 40mm to 12ga adapter thats drop in on the 203. FYI the m203 is lighter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eodinert 1 Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Yeah, but you're not going to breach a door with an M203. Not standing next to it, anyway. That shotgun is for breaching, that's all. The M203 is for killing people and breaking things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Salvs the problem of battle effective breacher without all the ungainly gear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vit 0 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Any word on the development or news on XM-26? I found a couple of pictures with the mag that I posted. Any idea if S-12 mag parts would work with that mag body? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
