[KKG]

Well, that should be a hit with lots of folks but I don't think I'll run out and get one. Mine aren't broke so no need to fix.

 

[Medic!]

The Tac-14 version will pick up a few rounds.

Yep, all three of mine will last me till I kick the bucket, don't need any more!!!

 

[Mark W.]

I could do that 870 DM Hardwood (81351) especially if I could change the pump to a corn cob style. Street price around $450. Much more then that and my 8rd 20" will do just fine.

 

[Joe13]

Hell yea I want one!


Edit: I'll have to wait till I find a cheap used one

 

[erslll]

I like it. Not sure I will run out and buy one either but as far as guns I don't really need go, it is now closer to the top of my list.

 

[IronMonster]

I'll buy one as soon as the hype is over and the prices settle.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Well not for me...
I really like how the balance point of the 870 is right in the middle of the receiver ( at least for me ).
On the DM version..that's where the magazine is....yuck.

[ItsLunchBOX]

I don't really understand the point other than faster reload. It's still a pump action right?

 

[KKG]

If I were to guess, this just might be Remington grabbing at straws. They have been getting some BAD Press lately!

 

[CountryGent]

^ Both neat-o, albeit for different reasons. If I was just getting started in the scattergun world, I would be tempted. However, we're kind of set on the smoothbores now, so I don't see buying any of these any time soon. Still, I have to give Remington kudos for coming up with a new line.

 

[IronMonster]

My only bubblegum is they should have figured out a way to still use the mag tube and ended up with a 6 + 8 + 1

Well figure it out and you'll make a fortune! I can see a possible use for the gun but now that I'm not a LEO that use just isn't there any longer.

I also see where the magazine will really throw off the balance point and that is VERY important when Point Shooting with a Shotgun.

 

[orygun]

That' a really cool idea, especially the "non-shotgun, shotgun". The only thing I think could be more Gangster is a Tommy Gun! BOB, anyone?

A Thompson was the first Gun I fired when I was about 6. My Dad was a Captain in the Army. Now Many years later I'd like to get my hands on another. I have had my hands on several while I was on Active Duty but for some silly reason "They" wouldn't let me bring any of those home. But I did get to shoot them while I could.

I own one of the current crop of Thompsons and maybe I'll be able to put the right Barrel on it but I'm really not sure I want to put all the Bucks into something that isn't the Real Thing.

Good point. It has been done before. The Russian MP131K fed from a box and tube magazine. The box magazine had a capacity of 3 or 5 rounds. It was selectable with a switch.

 

[B5Ben]

I don't really see the point either. It's an interesting idea, but you are wasting the tube space, replacing a known high reliability action with one that might not be, and ya the weight distribution seems like it night be off. I think I will stick with my 7+1 590.

The gamer boys will of course like it. The balance will probably be better with a 12 round box mag compared to a 12 round tube.
It's interesting anyway.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

See what happens when you don't get invited to play games...
I didn't think of those guys in 3 gun or whatever....just was thinking of how my 870 feels and what a box magazine would do for the balance of the gun while toting it for miles while after grouse and the like....
