  1. Me and Ebenezer Scrooge replying from the 2012 grave yard!

    Get a Surefire Barry Dueck offset sight kit and your co-witness problems go to zero!  run the optic you want.

  2. One of Aasgards best products was / is their forward shell holder.

  3. Some of my favorite non-hunting shotguns.

    The Spas-12 is one of the mechanically clumsiest shotguns ever designed. I authored an Anatomy Series Manual for the Spas-12 Improved Trigger Group, i.e. cross bolt design compared to the lever safety trigger group.

    FYI-The Franchi Spas 12 with lever-style safety is dangerous! 

    Still searching for  a Spas-12 "diverter" muzzle device.

  4. It is the collective Length of the  UNFIRED "2-3/4" shotshells that determines the # shells that can be loaded in the magazine tube. The 2-3/4" standard is the chamber / breech aperture length that will accommodate expelling the  OPENED UP / fired shot shell length. IF you choose to cut your magazine spring, than study the shortest 2-3/4" cartridge you will use and trim your spring accordingly.

  5. Use a standard ruler and measure from the mid portion of the bolt or open breech to the mid portion of the RMR roll cage. Done.

    It's not even necessary; as mentioned use 10-15 yards fire a couple of slugs and start turning the elevation dial to get within an 1" or so; then repeat at range you desire your zero.

  6. I'll play.

    Not a Sig fanboy however  somehow I have ended up with a bunch of them, maybe my Navy use of them after the Beretta 92 and 1911's. Only have one 320 I run in a Safariland drop leg rig; ~ 6K rounds thru this one. Started life as a VTAC flat 7 lb trigger and too big grip modules, purchased all of them, ended up with a Wilson Combat.  Use Safariland holsters for all of them.

  7. This 14" Wilson Combat Scattergun Technologies has a 8 MOA RMR that is more than adequate at expected range of engagements for a SBS. The  factory barrel has been customized by  Vang Comp to  extend the forcing  cone and porting.

    The M4 14" Entry is just as good with a 2 MOA Aimpoint, a bit quicker shot-shot due to ARGO auto system. IF I need a 100M slug shot with these boys, I picked up the wrong tool for the task. Just sayin'. 

    Love the Asgaard Defense forward shell holders auto or pump.

  8. ^^^ The dot size one views in the optic of various mfg.'s does not necessarily reflect the MOA representation, i.e. a 3.5 MOA dot viewed is not 1/2 the visual size of a 7 MOA dot/ triangle viewed.....thru the optic. The "red / orange / green dot-triangle " that is viewed is merely a representation of a 3.5" v. 7" impact probability at 100 yards. IF you take a 3.5 MOA optic and a 7 MOA optic and view a 6" plate at 100 yards, the 7 MOA dot will not obscure the view of the 6" plate; you would however be able to more accurately place your shot on the 6" plate with a 3.5 MOA viewed dot if the firearm was capable of that accuracy.

  9. SD-

    I fabricated a couple of simple tools that make installation / removal of the threaded plug a controlled situation for me.

    After removal of the retaining clip I use a twin lug screw driver fitted to the plug mortises.

    For installation I use a cut away hollow punch to compress the spring into position, capture it with a slave pin / punch, allowing plenty of room to get the threaded plug

    into position. 

    Agree about removing the spring, as it will be trash from the heat.

  10. The inspection to identify the OP's concerns in this situation is usually not part of a routine pre-purchase over the counter inspection. Interested in seeing the factory resolution to this customer service inquiry. I could however understand  Benelli's position that an internal machining blemish that does not influence function , is not a mechanical "defect" therefore may not require replacement v. OP's concern observing this as a  manufacturing "defect". Standing by.

  11. Typically the MOA "dot size" is similar in presentation size thru the optic lens to the operator in most optics. What is different between devices is what that dot size represents at various distances. For a shotgun a 2.5 MOA represents 0.625" @ 25 yards impact variation; an 8 MOA dot represents 2" impact variation. A 12 gauge slug is  ~0..72" so a 2.5 MOA most closely represents the slug size impact at 25 yards. Double those MOA numbers for 50 yards, 1.25" v. 4" impact variation; 4X those numbers @ 100 yards.  Finally, most red dot optics project the "red light" from behind the lens at an angle to the center of the rear surface of the optic lens which itself is usually angled rearward; any debris that accumulates in the area of the "projector" red light source will create blurred / distorted red dot images as the light is diffracted passing thru the trash en route to the lens, particularly with a pistol mounted optic; check / clean that area with alcohol and a Q-tip before declaring astigmatism issues.
