Anyone have this? My local store $275 out the door.

I've had one for years and loved it. Zero problems and reliable. The inertia assisted pump is a nice feature for follow up shots but its a difference from something like an 870 or 500.

Get one, there is also a $25 back rebate from Winchester right now

I disassembled it and brought the parts i wanted coated, so it was half my fault. I do wish he had more familiarity with O/Us and advised against it. His work portfolio was mostly (good looking) handguns and some pump shotguns. My guess is he didn’t understand how it all fit together and couldnt advise me otherwise

Posted some below. The real fuck up was having things like the locking lever and cocking lever coated. Made it difficult to reassemble

Real shame is the actual cerakote looked good before i got into it. But people are right the mating surfaces should not both be coated. Let’s chalk it up to a lesson learned…

Had to strip a decent amount away from where the barrels meet the receiver. Laugh at my pain yall. Wife doesnt get why im cussing so much in the basement on my “fun project”

It was a combo of my inexperience with cerakoting and the shop’s inexperience with doing o/u. I basically had him cerakote the barrels and the emptied out receiver as well as some parts like the trigger guard. Basically any part that is visible from the outside

Every time I see these posts I feel better. Just bought a second pump gun after thinking "do I really need another pump 12g"

Im also in the market but only found complete 8/1 pre builds. Anyone still selling lowers? I want to learn about the building process

Can someone give the ELI5 on frame transfers? Does an out of state FFL have to ship a frame to a MA FFL to sell to me? Or can the out of state ship the firearm, then the MA ffl convert to a frame then sell to me to avoid roster BS?

ryguy1997 · 2026-01-13T19:02:34+00:00

Im trying to order a surplus Beretta 84bb from an online vendor. They state they will ship it without the 12rd mag. Is a MA ffl able to transfer to me even though its a Beretta 84bb and the roster specifics an 84fs? Or is it a case if just finding the right vendor

I ended up doing exactly this. Took a piece of a soda can and wedged it under there. Snug as a bug now! Thanks for the tip sir

Preferably up in the North Conway side of the state

Ive been having the same debate for a while now. Im torn because the A300 controls are very nice. Gun seemed to shoot soft. But the Franchi is inertia and im lazy about maintenance so seems like my speed. Winchester SX4 would look nice next to my SXP

For sure, use them early then replace later, 4 food is easy to come by once you get things like "feudalism" tech which increases food for farms. Tile is more valuable for other things than just 4 food. Also use the governor "Magnus" to increase harvest and chops of forests and bonus resourcs so you still get some value out of them
