  1. Yeah, one of the best solutions I've seen other than a card on the side of the receiver. In theory one could a 7 shell card, this 10 shell stock sock, and a full mag +1 for a total of 26 rounds on or in the gun. Sweet. https://www.voodootactical.com/valor-standard-stock-shell-carry.html
  2. Actually not only did they throw the DD AR with the Aimpoint T-1 out of a helicopter from a couple of hundred feet twice (a do over was called for since their primary camera wasn't running to catch the first drop) they also blew up a car with the DD AR hanging from the rear view mirror during their thorough torture test. The tortured T-1/DD AR combo held zero until the helicopter drops, and I suspect the reason why it lost zero from the 1st and/or 2nd helicopter drop is because the AR probably landed muzzle first and that impact affected the barrel or the barrel to upper interface and wasn't actually an issue with the T-1. I have several T-1s, T-2s, and a H-2. The only thing I've been able to find out about the difference between the T-1/H-1 and T-2/H-2 is Aimpoint claims less parallax error with the later T-2/H-2 version. I've also noted that the red dot is brighter on the highest setting on the T-2/H-2 vs. the T-1. That Daniel Defense AR is on display in the Daniel Defense lobby. Aimpoint asked for the T-1 and DD refused to hand it over, preferring to keep it on display with their torture tested AR. I have more faith in Aimpoint than any other brand RDS optic.
  3. Buy the combo package, sell the LEAP if that's not your thing, get the T-2 for under $700, I haven't found a better deal anywhere. Here's a clue - load the shopping cart and note total. You won't be disappointed.
  4. Scalar Works offers a T-2 on a LEAP mount for $799.00.
  5. OP text from source states "sawed off shotgun"...difficult to tell from the photo but it appears that barrel muzzle is flush with flashlight which would definitely make it a NFA item.
  6. It's apparently a speed loader tube guide of some sort no longer in production.
  7. I bought one on a lark. If it's a fake feebay it's easy enough to have feebay force a return.
  8. I dropped my Shockwave from a height of <12 inches (onto a piece of carpet on a tile floor with no padding) and the lifter dislodged 2 out of 3 times. I don't recall position of safety when doing this.
  9. You Mossy owners need to understand that Mossberg doesn't give a diddlely squat about your safety and I would never trust a Mossy pump (any Mossy pump) with my life unless the remedy has been applied to the shell lifter. I do own a Mossy Shockwave which has the remedy performed on the shell lifter. I also own a Rock Island Armory pump shotgun which has the exact same issue although it's not a frontline gun for me so not concerned at this time, just very wary of the problem. What's the problem? Well, if you drop a Mossy pump which is unaltered box stock then you're very likely to have a broken, non-functioning pump shotgun. From a drop as little as ten inches either of the pins on the shell lifter where they are held by the holes in the receiver will become dislodged. If you're not in the middle of a shitstorm then it's a fairly easy temporary fix (it WILL happen again if dropped) so long is you do not work the action. If you attempt to work the action while the shell lifter is dislodged then you have a real problem that will not easily be solved requiring disassembly. The solution my gunsmith and I came up with is taping both pins for screws and installing delrin washers over the pins and under the screws. Now my Shockwave will pass the drop test. And why do I assert Mossberg doesn't give a diddlely squat about your safety? Because my gunsmith called then inquiring about the problem and they feigned ignorance. They know and yet they don't do anything about it. Mossy pumps are popular because of being an entry level shotgun. Then there's the "hey, it's mil-spec!" nonsense with the 590. If you're wanting a pump shotty that you can bet your life on get a Benelli Nova or Super Nova instead.
  10. There's this thing known as "a dead man's five seconds" in which a varmint can still kill ya despite being mortally wounded. It's often more than five seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tePGLcYjcVk
  11. Running out of ammo in the middle of a shit storm is a real bitch. Don't ask me how I know. I'll let this guy tell you: That's exactly what it's like however my help was via a neighbor calling 911 not via a radio call. This guy had two rounds left at the end of the incident, I had one round left, it was very close. https://www.police1.com/officer-shootings/articles/why-one-cop-carries-145-rounds-of-ammo-on-the-job-clGBbLYpnqqHxwMq/#:~:text=Before the call that changed Timothy Gramins’ life,Now%2C he carries 145%2C “every day%2C without fail.”
  12. Found this option, however I can don two 50 round bandoliers in the time it takes to don this 24 round chest rig. https://gadsdendynamics.com/shotgun-chest-rig/
  13. Having extra ammo on your gun cannot be beat because in a shit blizzard you may not have time to grab anything but the gun - Quality shotgun cards - https://esstac.com/shotgun/ Buttstock ammo carrier (I'm not promoting this one, only using as an example) - https://www.ebay.com/itm/275013558357?hash=item400815e055:g:HZMAAOSwIJJhgzso Then there are the sling/bandolier combos or the shotshell holder that slips over your forearm (not a fan of either). In a shit blizzard keeping track of a pouch or bag not attached to your body or LBE isn't going to work out very well. Personally, beyond the rounds stowed on the gun itself I'm big on quality bandoliers, the best quality 12 ga. bandolier that I've found is Urban ERT - https://www.urbanertslings.com/50-round-tactical-combat-shotgun-bandoleer-for-the-12-gauge-shotgun/ Urban ERT shotshell holder belt - https://www.urbanertslings.com/30-round-12-gauge-2-shotgun-shell-belt/ Too bad Uncle Mike's quit making this vest - https://www.bluesheepdog.com/uncle-mikes-breacher-vest-review/

  15. IMO it would increase oversight/workload for admins well beyond where it is now (which isn't much to begin with), so doubtful forum owner will go for it...JMO.
  16. They were good enough to reduce the shipping costs to $9.95 even after they shipped it 2 day. Be advised I did not opt for the two day shipping, their website automatically did that to my order.
  17. Good deal however shipping was excessive for two (>$42, WOW) plus the sales tax hit put each at $205.
  18. Color scheme will be all metal would be white, meaning everything (sights except the functional parts, bolt carrier, ch), with handguards and stock being pink. Buttpad and pg will have to remain black. But that doesn't matter, the concept is that varmints aren't very bright and the reaction(s) to be expected would run along these lines causing a hesitation: "Wait...what???" "WTF is that BRIGHT white and pink thing???" "WTH Is that, a gun or a toy??" "You can't be serious." A fraction of a second in hesitation could be the game changer when dealing with varmints. As for any embarrassment on my part, I'm all out of fcks so I have no fcks to give.
  19. I'm thinking about doing a Hello Kitty motif on one of my Benellis. What do you guys think?
