hk4me 0 Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Tony, Is it possible to reduce the barrel OAL to 12" while still maintaining the original gas system length ? Maybe drilling multiple gas-ports (3or 4) ? Thx. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ForGreatJustice 1 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 The tax to TRANSFER an AOW is only $5, but the tax on an individual (non-SOT payer) is $200 to manufacture an AOW Also, I think an S-12 can go down to 12" with the original gas system length, but the reliability is suspect even with larger ports. And the example I saw only worked on setting 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TonyRumore 1,332 Posted January 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) There were several guys before me that made S-12's around 12", but all of the examples that I saw, they had left the gas ports in the stock position. I run a single gas port and modify the gas regulator to work like an RPD machine gun. Albeit, the RPD has three gas positions and the S-12 only two. Obviously, the guys got their 12" guns to work, but I have not been able to confirm that they would run on super light 1oz discount ammo. You need a hell of a lot more gas to run those, then the big 3" mags. So, my gut feel is that it will work just fine with high powered shells, but probably will not with the super light stuff, even if a 4th gas port is drilled. The 19" guns have 4 ports anyway. It's the 22" guns that only have 3ea. .113" is about as big as I would want to go before the holes get close to breaking out. 3ea .113 holes will run a 16.5" gun with super light shells.

kmoore 3 Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 is "AOW" = $200? wasn't there something that was only $10 or $20? I heard $5 for each transfer. Still not much of a deal if you have to create a reciever unless you plan on multiple transfers. is "AOW" = $200? wasn't there something that was only $10 or $20? I heard $5 for each transfer.

ForGreatJustice 1 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I'm saving up for the short-barrel work myself. The downsides of a short barrel shotgun are mainly the flash and blast being close to your face and a falloff in slug accuracy. I'm wondering if a Paradox choke and flash-hider can be combined into an integral unit to address both these concerns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
