I'm taking a gamble and selling my 1301 (which has been a perfect shotgun) because I made mistake of playing with a Browning a5. It's got a lot of good features, some of them are great. Anyone else have one?
What do you mean by the tube sets too deep in the receiver? Do you mean that it extends to far toward the stock or it's farther from the load port closer to the chamber?billdozer said:The only knock is how deep the tube sets in the receiver, you can't be sloppy when loading. Other than that it has been a perfect shotgun. If I could talk my son into selling the VersaMax(which I hate) I would definitely prefer to keep it. It has very little recoil, and has been very low maintenance, and reliable.
So it's just too deep to reach easily for loading? I'm sitting on a Franchi Affinity that has that issue. I think it's deeper then I renember my short lived A5 to be.billdozer said:It sets closer to the chamber. If you get one, I'd recommend having someone(like Tony re-engrave the serial number, so you can lower the side wall more. Other than having to have perfect form when loading(because of the depth) it is a perfect shotgun. If I don't like the a5, I'm gonna go back to it and move the numbers.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is correctJesse Tischauser said:BTW I think you need to have a manufacturers license to move serial numbers don't you?
But now I'm getting it from the Internet which is exactly how the last guy told me it needed to be done by a manufacturer after he called some ATF idiot that wasn't sure either. Moral of the story is do whatever you can live with.billdozer said:I contacted the atf in kc, they said as long as they meet their engraving requirements, and you engrave it visible on the receiver, BEFORE you touch other one. It's okay. That was from an actual field agent on the phone, not the internet.
I have no clue. I was just going with it.Austin T said:Err...what's a TX quad load? Am I going to be sorry for asking?

It's kinda like a Kentucky Klondike bar or a Mississippi Mudslinger. Maybe....Austin T said:Err...what's a TX quad load? Am I going to be sorry for asking?
