    The concept is cool
    but I have heard from those in the know that LE departments dislike them because they are more complicated and difficult to switch between pump/semi under stress.

    I do like them though... they're neat. One of my best friends had one but sold it, so I've handled and shot one a few times. Nothing wrong, he had just lost interest.





    Do you blame me? Lol. I still work in MD and most of my family is there. I'm fighting for 2A on two fronts now!

    Really the only advantage of the M3 is the ability to run low grade ammo or less than lethals, thats what it was built for. That said, for those of us that like "neat stuff" its a sweet gun.

    I hesitated on bidding on a new old stock gun with the 7rd mag that was sitting at $1250........regretting it

    I was finally able to take the XM1014 out and play last weekend and all i an say is, this thing is a hoot! It ate everything I fed it, from low brass #8 target loads to 3" 00 Buck. The fully 922(r) compliant 9 round mag dumps were very controllable :innocent0. I then swapped out the modified choke for an Improved Cylinder and was breaking some clays with it.

    Good to know! My SPAS-12 was just release last weekend and I did a full strip detail on that thing, and now its in good working order. I might have a shotgun day coming up this Sunday!

    On a side note... that SPAS-12 was filthy and gritty with the remnants of the old deteriorating buffer. Took a solid 2 hours to get the whole thing apart and cleaned correctly. On the upper hand a new buffer should be arriving any day so I'll be able to run it semi-auto against the M4!
