SUB 6 pound gun!!! They do RECOIL!!!
This 5100 with plastic stocks and 20 inch 20 gauge barrels tips the scales at a svelte 5.85 pounds!!!
 No wonder my shoulder don't like the second shot so much! And missing the round screw hole cover ain't helpin' none I am sure!!! I will be getting real wood and a nice recoil pad for it! Brent Last edited by hogdogs; October 10, 2011 at 09:04 AM. |

Once you get it to fit, and stop using slugs, it should be less painful Brent!

OOL, The main intention for this gun is actually as my deer gun...
It is the light, easy all day carry I was after... The pump gun is just a nuisance in carry... Always changing carry position (also requires a visual muzzle check)... Like totin' a 2 year old around the flea market... So with my trusty basic cheap slugs, if it can close to the accuracy, in my hands, as my M-500 it will be my carry gun. So far on only 2 shots at a time, fully off hand standing (no improvised rest) I am getting 2-4 inch groups at 30-40 yards. But I fully expect far better results with a tight (tenite stock is not 100% tight fitting) fit solid wood stock set and a NICE comfy recoil pad... BTW, I justified the fact I bought this without discussin' with wifey as "Consider this the father's day present you said was too pricey then... Just a hundred bucks... YOU DID GREAT BABY... THANKS!!!"  Brent |

The site okiecruffler linked to will install one of the pads they sell fit with stock cut to LOP you request for 30-35 bucks depending on which you get...
Total to buy stocks and pad is $125... Brent |

The wood furniture is a good idea, Tenite tends to get brittle over time...
