Nitrowing 0 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Hi everyone, I'm new here and have finally got my Police to agree to me having a multi-shot shotgun. I have 2 to choose from right now, a s/hand 12C (£???) or a brand new Spetsnaz 2 (£1100). These are very hard to get in the UK, a new one has an 8 month waiting list as far as I'm aware! Has anyone got good reason to choose one over the other? There's also a pump action Mossberg with a Knoxx Axiom stock with 10rd drum mag for £500 which looks fantastic!! 12C Spetsnaz 2 Mossberg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volkov 318 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) those are all fantastic (although I'm not familiar with that mossy, looks very nice, but I prefer semi auto) I chose the spetsnaz since brand new, nice gun, threaded muzzle.. I shied away from the 12c simply because you didn't have a price on it which makes it hard to compare.. Both would be considered awesome here as they are impossible to get ahold of.. not sure how the UK works but the waiting list makes me think it's not much better. Great opportunity to get a really nice gun Edited November 2, 2009 by volkov Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TO THE FLOOR IN A 63 121 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 One pound now is a bit over $1.50...I think about $1.60. 500 pounds is about $820... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zambidis 90 Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 1,100 British pounds = 1,804.99 U.S. dollars 550 British pounds = 901.78 U.S. dollars I voted for the Spetsnaz 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheGeneral 3 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I voted for the Spetsnaz 2 as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saiga12fury 0 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 i voted for the Spetsnaz 2 i think if you get to carry any of these on patrol is kick ass! criminals watch out!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Spetnaz for sure. Second would be the 12-C. It's got better sights, hinged cover, top rail, magwell, most comfy PG, adjustable cheek rest, LRBHO, FH....hell what's not to like better? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HillBilly2 9 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Y'all don't look too good. The 12C shown has an optic sight, and a Hushpower silencer. Way more better. At least no one mentioned the Mossy, a good gun at heart, but that one's in drag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtnichols 51 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I voted for the 12C if it's been around the block a few times, it is bound to have any kinks worked out,.. fwiw Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azrial 1,091 Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 The Spetsnaz 2, no question! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nitrowing 0 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I voted for the 12C if it's been around the block a few times, it is bound to have any kinks worked out,.. fwiw That's why I'm considering it. The Cobra optic and a silencer are sweeteners too. Buying rifles second-hand is usually more risky than shotguns as there isn't as much worry on how the previous owners have treated the bore. The Mossberg just looks great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DyLonX5 3 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I voted Spetsnaz 2. It's better equipped IMO. The mossberg is a true performer, I know I have one. But overall the spetsnaz 2 is the better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 So, are folks there only allowed single shot breech loaders or something? Forgive my ignorance, I am just curious about U.K. gun laws. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Mossberg just looks great! Excuse my "french", but in this case, fuck Mossberg! Have you confirmed that the silencer suppressor on the 12-C is indeed functional? If so, it's worth serious consideration. If not, the Spetznaz 2 is the clearly superior choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nitrowing 0 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 So, are folks there only allowed single shot breech loaders or something? Forgive my ignorance, I am just curious about U.K. gun laws. We have two licences, a Fire Arms Certificate (FAC) and a Shotgun Certificate. On a Shotgun licence we are allowed a shotgun of not more than 3 cartridge capacity with a minimum length of 40". A shotgun with more than 3 cartridges needs to be put on the FAC and be well justified to the Police. Practical Shotgun competition and vermin control are justifiable reasons to own a multi-shot shotgun. So on my Shotgun Certificate, I have my Baikal Hushpower .410 and an AYA side-by-side 12 gauge. The multi-shot took over a year to be approved by my local Firearms Dept! The 12C has been bought by another guy, I have put a deposit on the Spetsnaz-2 and the Mossberg. Hopefully I can convince the Police that I should be allowed the Mossberg as our club's Practical Shotgun competition has separate categories for pump and semi-auto Quote Link to post Share on other sites
