Re: Advice on choosing a pump action

Re: Advice on choosing a pump action
thanks for that. will keep that in mind.

Re: Advice on choosing a pump action
i like the FRANCHI and the REMMINGTON because of the lock up mechanism of the bolt and extraction of the cartridge.
the winchester uses a rotating lock mechanism that makes it prone to jams while locking and extractor can jump the case rim.
on paper cartridges one gets some swelling at times and the winchester doesnt handle that well.
on plastic hulls one gets strips of plastic "threads" and after a while those jam the winchester.
the type of lock up of the 870 and my FRANCHI makes it more robust and forgiving to these factors.
for a SHTF shotgun , i want it rack and shoot with no glitch.
the winchester is also heavier.
live out your imagination , not your history.

Re: Advice on choosing a pump action
Just checked out the Atis shotgun at Dave Sheer for R2500-00. Any idea on these guns, good or bad.
