IIRC, the Beretta M1014 military shotgun (we got them right before I got out) can stage a shell on the carrier and still be single loaded, so it may be a model issue as well... though that's a semi.- carebear

That's pretty much it. Although the receiver, while not absorbing the chamber pressures, is transferring the recoil to the shooter. Enough heavy magnum loads and that adds up to a lot of energy going backwards. I have heard of frames starting to get cracks around pin holes and such. Again...- carebear

Typically if the magazine is loaded when you open the action, a shell will be brought onto the carrier, at that point putting an additional shell in the port will just jam the gun. That may be either a brand specific technique or an empty gun technique. What I was taught was, with a shell...- carebear

Well said John. All of it. Load one, shoot one. :eusa_clap Sam, No matter where you're at, there are going to be good schools nearby to help you learn to run the gun even under stress. I heartily recommend getting the best training you can afford when the purpose is self-defense.- carebear

The Mossberg shotguns have aluminum receivers. For any normal usage they will stand up as well as a steel receivered shotgun. I use a Mossy 500 for my HD shotgun. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the 1300 or its receiver. Remember, shotgun shells, especially non-magnums, are low...- carebear

The feed is from the top hopper right? What purpose do the different mag designs serve? Esthetics is a perfectly rational answer. :D- carebear

According to my Jesuit-schooled father, it isn't nuns with guns you have to worry about. It's the ones with rulers. :D- carebear

The Adventurer's Gear Thread
Functionally Kydex can be your best bet, but as was said any local leather-worker should be able to work out a sheath for you. Do think about how you want to carry it, belt or on your pack (where I carry mine for instance) before paying for work. Convenience tools like machetes go on the...- carebear

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
"Once" Great singer-songwriter soundtrack with the singer-songwriters as actors. youtube for "Once" soundtrack to hear it. A love story without a Hollywood ending. And great music if that was at all unclear.- carebear

Any good gunsmith can either stake that sight in for you or install a new one that will fit tighter. Which should be cheaper than factory repair. You shouldn't have to actually send it in. If you do decide to, call them first and explain the problem, they may have some other suggestions...- carebear

Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks in Action!
That's why I love living here in safe Alaska. All we have are the occasional scared/angry bear and sometimes an annoyed moose. Nothing poisonous, nothing with scales and nothing in the water. The only dangerous things are big, furry and not usually looking for a meal, just to be left...- carebear

I want to plug a book about personal safety in the wilderness that I recommend to all those without a military/self-defense background. Access to wild places is a good thing, but also means there are too many "bad guys" out in our wild places to operate under the idea that "wilderness" means...- carebear
