          The AR15 is below the arbitrary bore size for being a DD.

          3-Gun competitions use Saigas and AR looking shotguns like that to demolish the shotgun stages. At this point if you aren't using one you basically don't have any chance to win.

          The AR15 is below the arbitrary bore size for being a DD.

          That's a 12ga shotgun that looks like an AR-15.

      It's an import, so unlike domestic treasury secretary gets to decide if it has a "sporting purpose". And unfortunately for those poor bastards they tried to bring it to the states in the mid-Clinton administration and whoops "NO SPORTING PURPOSE >:(" so became a DD which torpedoed it, leaving us with turkshit instead.

        Why doesn't some US manufacturer just make a copy?

        • 1 year ago
          Anonymous

          There was an attempt to recreate the USAS-12 but like

          some arizona company was gonna do a domestic clone and bypass dd ruling like 15 years ago or somethin but plan fell apart. dont remember why.

          said it just up and vanished was supposed to have a picatinny rail instead of the carry handle
          otherwise any attempt to clone the USAS,Strike and street sweeper never happened probably because of manufacturers not wanting to deal with the NFA and its moronic bullshit

          See

          some arizona company was gonna do a domestic clone and bypass dd ruling like 15 years ago or somethin but plan fell apart. dont remember why.

          . That's right, was called "WM-12" IIRC. Don't know why they died, beyond that lots of that type of effort falls apart for one reason or another. May have just been raw bad luck timing, think it was 2008? So exactly when the financial meltdown was happening, absolutely brutally bad time to be trying to get a new manufacturing business off the ground.

      whats wrong with feed tower?

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        Without needing to feed through a tower, the only force on each shell is the spindle itself rotating, not a train of shells pushing on each other at the top.
        The shells never touch so they can't catch rims or have the soft plastic deform out of round before chambering.

    You could just buy a semi-auto Italian shotgun and load your own fancy shells. If somebody breaks into your house, they’ll burn to death and you can just explain it away with a lawyer. If the glowBlack folk kick down your door, you’re fricked anyway so might as well make them suffer.

          Unless something changed in the last few months that gunbroker price is about double what it should be. There's a lot of stupidiy regarding people buying those. I saw people bid a USED aow version of that gun up to over 8k on RIA when Autoweapons had a NEW one for 4500.

    >Are they worth buying?
    From a price:performance perspective? No.
    From a collectable perspective? Subjective.
    From an investment perspective? I don't know. Probably not.

    If you just want a good auto-loading shotgun with a magazine you can get a Gen-12 for $2500.

      That's a valid assessment. Generally speaking transferable full autos appreciate well but other NFA items do not appreciate much. If the goal was purely to buy an investment a DD would not be a good choice. You'd do much better buying something like a pre-WWII S&W, rare milsurp, a fine English or Italian double shotgun, anything associated with the US Civil war, transferable full auto, etc. Watch the high-end auctions like RIA and do your homework. When "recessions" happen you can often find killer deals. There were many deals to be had this past August. There probably will be in December as well given what's going on with the financial markets, Ukraine, etc.
