#Shotguns

I have not yet made it to the Mossberg booth at SHOT, but fellow blogger MJM did. Coming to a zombie movie near you!

[ Many thanks to Thomas for emailing me the link. ]

Tobias, of Kel-Tec, emailed me this photo of the Kel-Tec KSG Shotgun stripped down. I can’t wait to get my hands on this gun!

How awesome was that shot 🙂

In a matter of months Kel-Tec has unveiled the PMR-30 pistol, the RMR-30 carbine and now the exciting KSG Shotgun. This bullpup pump-action shotgun has dual tube magazines that can hold a total of 14+1 rounds of ammunition.

Also new from Browning in 2011 is the Maxus Rifled Deer. As the name suggests, this is a Maxus semi-automatic shotgun configured to shoot slugs.

Next year Browning is bringing back the A-Bolt bolt-action rifle chambered in 12 gauge. They are (or will be) advertising that the A-Bolt Shotgun Hunter is capable of 1.5″ groups at 100 yards with sabot slugs.

Mossberg has brought out a range of 12 gauge pump-action shotguns named after Mossy Oak’s new TV Series “Turkey THUGS”. From the Mossberg press release …

The Weatherby SA-08 Entre Rios is a 28 gauge version of the SA-08 autoloader shotgun. The 28 gauge cartridge is popular in part because it allows the action to be scaled down, resulting in a lighter gun. Weatherby has scaled the SA-08 down to a weight of 5.25 lbs.

[ Y-Man, TFB’s resident Nigerian shotgunner, has written a series of articles about his quest to build the perfect shotgun. He has to fabricate many parts and ammunition himself because supplies of gun parts are so limited. I have had many people ask me to get in touch with him and find out if they can send him any spare parts or accessories. He responds below. ]

EAA Corp is once again importing Baikal rifles and shotguns into the US market. They expect the first shipment in December.

Next year Weatherby will be selling a tactical home defense shotgun called the SA-459 TR (Threat Response).

Russian mil-blogger Vitaly Kuzmin was kind enough to email me photos of the MTs-255 Tactical Revolver Shotgun. I blogged about the MTs-255 last year but was only able to find photos of its hunting counterpart. The Tactical model is really one bad-ass shotgun.

I saw this on Caleb’s blog and it gave me such a good laugh. Chris Costa should get his own comedy show 🙂

Mossberg sent me a press release saying that they are now sponsoring Jerry Miculek.
