Another masochist?
3 inch slugs huh?  Lemme know how those work for you ! Also read the "My Shoulder Hurts" thread...For HD needs you will never need the increased payload nor recoil of 3 inch rounds... The 2 3/4 slugs and 00 buck in 15 round boxes are way under 10 bucks at walmart as of a couple weeks ago. Also buy a few 100 count "bricks" of 7 1/2 low brass field loads for practice. Load shoot cycle and repeat... I think you will like the Mossy! Brent |

Slugs werent really for HD, i got the buckshot for that.
Slugs were more or less to go play with at my friends property. Thank you for the advice on the target rounds to get.

The general consensus seems to be that it's a technique for smoking marijuana that requires at least two people. Other meanings include claiming the front seat, and i think they mentioned something in there about shotguns.. |

a) heat shield b) muzzle brake c) "breaching" barrel d) vertical foregrip Bonus "shotty" points are apparently awarded for multiples of A-B. .I suspect "shotty" points are redeemable at the local mall.........

By my observations, a shotgun that has had either an M4 style stock or PGO bolted onto it along with at least one of the following:
a) heat shield b) muzzle brake c) "breaching" barrel d) vertical foregrip e) christmas lights f) clipboard attachment for top secret vide0 game c0d3s g) painting of World of warcraft character on side of receiver h) has never been broken in or patterned Bonus "shotty" points are apparently awarded for multiples of A-B. Sorry, had to fix it up! . I suspect "shotty" points are redeemable at the local mall......... |

I have never once heard a weed "hit" called a shotty... we always referred to that as a "shotgun"... shotty is a quick way to type shotgun in firearm talk.

Sorry....but "shotty" is NOT acceptable.......I can barely tolerate "mossy", or "remmy".....but shotty is just juvenile...... it's a SHOTGUN....nothing more, nothing less |

The trouble with the term "shotty" is that for many of us it represents a coursening of the gun-culture and represents the worst stereotypes that non-gun folks have of gun folks. The mallninjaness of it all, you understand. Some advice...... By all means break in your new shotgun. As our resident moderator and guru Dave McC is wont to say, Buy Ammo, Use Up, Repeat. In doing this you will learn what works on your shotgun and what hinders. My prediction is that if you truly BA/UU/R you will quickly ditch the M4 stock as shoulder bruising and cheek burn are not conducive to high volume use. You'll also find out that the heat shield is unnecessary, though at least it isn't the plastic variety with faux ghost rings on top. Enjoy and do get to know your new firearm. And welcome to TFL.

Lemme clear it up... Shotgun requires more on my part to type than shotty... Not one letter as i get to "double tap" the "T"... I feel for any sitting in a hospital as I spent 23 days in one in 9-07 with no innernet time at all. But my shot gun has non of the aforementioned accoutrements with the exception of patterned... Mine has had thousands of rounds thru it and most were pointed at a target...
For my desire to type as i dang well please do not place me in the fart teams of mall ninja! Not until i put a "tac trigger" in it... Double R i hope you are feeling better but don't include me in the mall ninja groups... I sold my trench coat and tac sling with PGO far too long ago to be included... Brent |

lol......clap clap clap clap clap clap, way to rip the new guy down with his first posts........wait...
clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap ..that was an encore round of applause. It would of only taken one of you less time to point out that this forum requires a little more sophistication when referring to your firearm and I am sure he would of complied and continued posting. Sorry to seem a little coarse on ripping the noobs apart, but honestly...you may all be highly skilled in your use and knowledge of firearms ...but you have a lot to learn about tact on the web  Most everyone here agrees that firearm owners need to stand strong together...so why not educate instead of ridicule.
