Most of you guys know from previous posts, I had the 11707 M4 with PG stock. Everything about it was perfect. Life got in the way, had to liquidate assets. Thought process was, " it's a shotgun, i can pick one up later." Biggest mistake ever. I originally bought at Gander mountain. 1450 + tax. When you find them, they're closer to 2k.
That was the smoothest shooting, eat anything firearm I have ever shouldered. I fed it 1960s era dove and quail low brass loads, trap loads, turkey T, buckshot and slugs. Shot it firmly shouldered, loose and off the hip loosey goosey. It never, I mean never failed to cycle the action for me. I can't speak highly enough about it. I will have another. My daughter experienced the only failure to feed. She was like 100 lbs dripping wet and couldn't quite get a good shoulder behind it. That and it was low brass target loads, like 3/4 or 7/8 oz #7 ½. The only time. Now the adjustable stock would've helped that, I'm a firm believer, but the government doesn't agree, here we are.
In my quest for a replacement, I picked up a 1301 tactical in OD green, I plan on getting a tube extension for it. Before that, I need to go out and put some lead downrange.
I don't think i can bring myself to put a Turkish copy in my collection. Cheaper materials and workmanship?. I can't even seriously look at the ones with American names like Johnson and Savage, cuz you know, deep down, it's inferior. I do however love my big ol Mossberg 590, I want her sexy retro sister too. Then I'd have to pick up there A1 cousins to round it out.
Sorry, drool, i got carried away there.
You know what i mean
