#Shotguns

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives have published Annual Firearms Manufacturers And Export Report 2007 (warning: PDF Link).

Last month I received an email from Nigeria. I know what you are thinking … not one of those emails 😉 Emmanuel was having some problems with his new shotgun and asked if I could help. I don’t know much about shotguns in general so I was not able to give him much advice. I ended up trading quite a few emails discussing the shotgun and gun laws in Nigeria.

Revision Eyewear have developed an impressive protective eyewear lens designed for combat. This video shows the Sawfly being shot by a 12 gauge Remington 1187 shotgun firing #6 lead shot from 16 feet:

Yes, you did you the title correctly. American Tactical Imports are bringing the Safir Arms T-14 stateside and calling it the AT-14.

This is the one I find most annoying:

This year CZ-USA will be importing the CZ BRNO BO 801 over/under 12 gauge shotgun this year.

This year Limbsaver will be selling an improved premium slip on recoil pad.

H&R (A Remington company) have produced a new shotgun designed specifically for slugs. H&R Pardner Pump Slug features a proprietary rifling design called Ultragon which was designed to provide greater slug accuracy. From the press release:

Benelli gets new media. They have a new website that is very aesthetically pleasing and modern with some nice touches like providing their promotion videos in the iPod format.

Winchester have given the Super X3 pump action (SXP) shotguns a makeover. The “Worlds fastest pump” now has a more high tech design.

I previously reported that on the new Mossberg 590 SPX. It appears Mossberg also have a “regular” 500 SPX.

If this does not keep hippies awake at night and zombies at bay I do not know what will. The Mossberg 500 Road Blocker a real badass. Pistol grip, heat shield and BFMB (Big “Fraking” Muzzle Brake”).

This year Mossberg is will be selling the autoloader 3 1/2″ magnum 935 Magnum and the 2 3/4″ 930 Turkey models with tactical style pistol grips and fixed stocks. Click to expand the images.

Jay emailed me an old CDNN catalog from 2001. It is hard to believe the prices listed were the norm only 8 years ago. Click to expand images.

My understanding of Australian guns law is that unless you are a farmer, professional shooter (such as professional competition shooter or professional pest hunter) or collector you are only allowed paintballs markers, air guns and non-semi-automatic rimfire/centerfire rifles and shotguns (pump action shotguns are subject to same restrictions as semi-auto shotguns). Pistols can only be owned by target shooters and the caliber is restricted in most cases to .38 (9mm).
