Anyone use a field barrel mounted on a Nova Tacticle that has ghost ring sights. I was wondering how the rear ghost ring would work shooting a field length barrel. I would rather buy a barrel that a complete shotgun if you know where I'm coming from. Thanks... Rick

Update: I found a thread oat shotgunworld.com about this problem I have. The solution is to glue tire repair patches to the inside of the clamp. Simple and easy. I also exchanged emails wiht ATI, (nice folks), and purchased a one of their heat shields. The only fitting I needed to do was cut the rear tab down some to clear the slide. Here's the pix everybody like pixs. I am happy thinkiin git came out good...

I mounted a Surefire G2 Flashlight to my shotgun mag tube extension with an Advanced Technologies shotgun flashlight clamp. Yesterday I finally had the opportunity to do some shooting with the shotgun. The flashlight moved with each shot. I tightened the clamping screw and went back to tactical practice. The flashlight crept out the end of the clamp then fell to the ground . My question is “what are you guns using to mount a flashlight to your shotguns”? The mount Benelli sells made by Insight Technologies is too pricy for me. Rick

Long Guns: Daisy Red Rider Crossman Pellet (pump) Ruger 10/22 Win 94 in .30-30 Handi-rifle .30-06 SA Garand M1 Mossberg M44US Colt LE6920 Benelli Nova Tactical Hand Guns: Crossman 1377 Rugers; Bearcat, MKIII Hunter, Vaquero (old style) 45 Colt Glock 19 S&Ws; Model 19 in .357, 640 in 357, and a 645 45acp Bond Arms 45/410 Derringer Yep, that it....

you made yours? Can you tell me what you used? Maybe post a picture... I find it odd that some company has not mass produced these and sells them online. Rick

Does one exist? Or has someone modified one to fit? I would like to attach a heat shield to my Nova Tactical and would welcome the Forum's input on this subject. Thanks

Yep - 10% at most...

The scientific babble would be about Newton's law every action has equal and opposite reaction. If you make the weapon heavier, the rearward velocity must be reduced to keep the formula in balance. M1V1 = M2V2 . Mass1 ( The projectile) times Velocity1 (Initial projectile velocity) equals Mass2 (Weight of the weapon,the caseing, etc) times Velocity2 (rearweard velocity of the weapon, caseing etc). Less rearward velocity equates to less felt recoil. The fluid fills less that the availave volume. The fluid's initial accelleration and density absorbs some energy further reducing 'felt recoil. For any given cartridge, a heavier weapon has less felt recoil that a lighter weapon. Which is why the M1 garand is such a fine shooter - its heavy! Much heaver than my H&R HandiRifle in 30-06. I have one for my Tactical Nova I use it during practice exercises - It does add weight to the weapon making the Nova heavy. I remove it after the exercise. When many rounds are going ot be expended during a session, the unit helps my aged shoulder with rotator cuff problems... Hopes this helps - Rick

Buck shot is on the list to try - With my 18.6 inch barrel, the Bird shot spread wide enough as to not render spread data - I fully peppered standard moving boxes at ~ 10 ft and 25 ft. I also shot with and w/o the recoil reducer - I will leave it installed although it does add significiant weight.

I finally had the opportunity to take my Tactical Nova out and punch holes in some moving boxs. (I recently moved from NM to AZ and I did clean up after myself out there). I shot 7 1/2 shot and some 7/8oz slugs. My left arm is somewhat sore this moring (I shot a derringer in 45/410 and my 45acp carry piece also - and a 30-30 just for fun...) Suprisingly my right shoulder where my rotator cuff was repaired last summer does not bother me {yet}. I am shoot from both hands and I am better left handed wiht a long gun and right handed with handguns... go figure. Anyway, I paced out 50 long paces to check how the slugs woud hit . They landed quite high about 6 inches or so. Can someone tell me what the factory sighting is? (as followup to another thread on dressing up this piece - a Benellli 2 round mag extension is heading my way - I will address the light issue then). Thanks fella's... Rick

I found that system online - I am mused with a 2.5 hour battery life/ that lamp must be real real bright. Did you try other systems before this one?

Please explain the funcationallity of your tactical light - Did I read correctly that it is acutally three components? Thanks...

Hi fellas, I have a plane jane tactical nova 18 1/2 barrel. I want to add a 2 round mag extension (most likely tac star) and a tactical light. Here my friends - educate me - what works whats junk - what did you do and what would you have done different. Please show pictures when you can... Thanks Rick

I saw somewhere a duel barrel package deal - A short barrel for home defense, and a standard barrel for hunting which is where this question generated from...
