Unobtanium Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 What tube does it use? Regular M2 choke-tubes, or the older-style pre-Cryo tubes? Would a Terror .700 tube be good for 00 Buck? I am searching for something that will give me a usable 00 pattern at 50 yards on something like a coyote size target. I am aware of the Flite Control, but I want something that will tighten up the cheap stuff for practice/informal situations. I also like the exposed, gnarled area on the Terror tubes from SRM as they would allow me to change them easily without a wrench. Do the SRM Terror tubes have a good reputation for fit/finish/not coming loose from shooting, ect? Would someone recommend a different choke (or constriction) for best achieving my goals? Thankyou!

adamlau Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 You want to look at Beretta/Benelli m o b i l e chokes. You ought to pattern your M4 first. I gather you will conclude that the factory IC, or M will suit your needs. Popular chokes include Briley and Primos. Recommending a constriction over the forums is tantamount to recommending an air/fuel tune without taking into consideration local conditions (i.e. octane and barometric pressure vs. barrel tolerances and characteristics). A tighter choke may not reduce flyers as deformed pellets tend to fly, regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobtanium Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Will try the factory tube first. M4's come with 3 tubes (F/M/I) right? What should a 50-yard 00 buck pattern look like from an M choked M4? Is a 24x24 target likely to contain all the shot or not? Also, how accurate are the Wal-mart remington Foster style slugs from an M4? 10" at 100 yards possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you shoot a Mod., or IM (Imp. Mod.), or even a full, whichever your gun likes, with a buffered and plated shot buckshot load (no cheap assed Wallace World) your gun should shoot MOST of the pattern into a 24"X24" at 50m. Just use the TruBall Slugs if you want the best accuracy. IMO, you will still get way more hits with buckshot out at 50m+, especially if the targets are moving. Remember, we're talkin' shotguns here. A shotgun is probably THE bast weapon for close quarters and especially defensive work (especially with modern shotshells). However, it is not a precision instrument by its very nature. For shooting at fast moving, close quarters, pop up type adversaries- it's hard to beat. A submachine gun does have it's advantages for real close in work, say, around vehicles and entry because of it's mag capacity and its OAL. I will still take a shotgun if my life is on the line though. YMMV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskapopo Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I would take a .223/5.56 carbine when my life is on the line. The shotgun is fine but its more limited in range and capacity and its harder to shoot. The subgun is just a pistol with a stock attached. No thanks. When you need a long gun you need one in a rifle caliber. Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
