I just got home from swapping a small lathe for one of these. It's a brute. I have two box mags with it. Workmanship is a 92 out of 100. Action is smooth and tight. Straight bore no choke, Racks solid. Magazine is quickly removed and changed out. I've loaded one with #8 and one with 00. No problem with loading one in chamber and 10 in magazines. 11 Shot Shotgun. In two hours of handling it. It has become one of my favorites. Mainly because of the mean, beast of a weapon look, with the box mag hanging there.
