Anybody tried one of these?

[u/NoGrapefruit1213]

I don’t know how I stumbled upon these but I did. It seems sketchy I’m not sure it’s a good idea but it could solve an issue I’m having with my 10” Ege Levar12s.
So out of my 18” barrel 12 guage using a rifled choke tube I have great accuracy with repurposed target loads with hand made Lee 7/8 slugs but when I toss them in my 10.5 Ege with the same rifled choke it’s all over the map.
My best guess is with the shorter barrel it’s not getting a good enough burn and the blast is sending the slug tumbling? I’m not a ballistics expert. It goes in it goes boom it comes out. What ever else happens in between or after it’s beyond me. So this leads to my 2 questions has anyone tried one? And from what I can tell Lockhart tactical is a legitimate company I can trust?

I was looking at these a couple weeks ago to add on a 10 or 14” shotgun , and from what I read people say they are indeed a gimmick and not worth doing. (Also that company might not really be operating at the moment)

Good. After that stunt they tried pulling on MRA i hope they never sell anything again.

Yeah it’s one thing for the projectile to run through a choke but to thread a barrel extension on kinda scares me for some reason I think I’ll stick with shot shells in this one. I debated buying the 18” version when I got this maybe I need both lol

[u/Elbro_16 → u/NeruLight]

They are operating still, I just purchased a buffer tube and castle nut from them

Instead of just copying a link, you took a canted photo of your screen, and posted that...

[u/NoGrapefruit1213 → u/LisaLisaKenAdoresHer]

Yes I did. Just for you. Your welcome

[u/LisaLisaKenAdoresHer → u/NoGrapefruit1213]

Ruined my day.

[u/Acc4Wtf]

Ah yes, the Turkey extender.

. Renowned globally for it's economic advantage, turning your $400 blue 12" mag fed abomination, into a certified upland-game precision instrument and skeet champion companion.

. Snide remarks aside, forgive me I couldn't help myself, do not buy this.

[u/NoGrapefruit1213 → u/Acc4Wtf]

I think I’d be better off just buying the 18” version lol or I might reach out to the warranty depot and see if it’s less than half the price of the gun just buy the barrel hand guard and nit then a guy could just swap back and fourth

[u/Acc4Wtf → u/NoGrapefruit1213]

If the restriction is cost, but you want short and long barrels, buy the cool looking cheap short barreled Turkish and then buy a used long barrel 12ga from GNG or InterSurplus. You can get quality break/pump action shotguns for as low as $200-$400.

. Or even better, buy the mossberg combo with 18" + 28" barrel (don't know the exact model or lengths but it's something like that).

[u/NoGrapefruit1213 → u/Acc4Wtf]

Cost is not 100% factor it’s just I dont wanna have 2 of the same gun with differnt barrel lengths. I’ve got plenty of options for 12 gauges in the gun room. I just want to be able to shoot slugs accurately from this one. I reached out to sfrc to see what’s available for parts to convert

[u/Winter-Sympathy5037 → u/NoGrapefruit1213]

You'd be better off just not dealing with lockhart tactical.

[u/therowdyirishman]

Don't fuck with this dude... This strikes me as a SERIOUSLY sketchy and potentially dangeous mod, especially with the Turkish QC secret sauce at play.

[u/Flashy_Inspector115 → u/therowdyirishman]

This reply has no substance

[u/therowdyirishman → u/Flashy_Inspector115]

Damn, that really stings coming from a renowned core contributor like yourself. I'll try to do better next time I'm speaking on a totally unknown quantity that no sane person would have any first hand experience on.

[u/Flashy_Inspector115 → u/therowdyirishman]

Im having a hard time accepting the fact a barrel extension will damage a gun. I get bad tolerances exist but I disagree that extension is likely to cause problems.

[u/therowdyirishman → u/Flashy_Inspector115]

Turkish Shotgun + lengthy Lockhart part (threading internally) into the barrel a 1oz chunk of lead is shimmying down = zero concern for you? You're braver than me dude, or seriously lacking in imagination/understanding of failure points. I'm inclined to say the latter.

[u/Specialist_Chard5231 → u/therowdyirishman]

Threading internally like a choke does? Like a extended choke does? So isn't this part just a extended longer choke?

I don't think it will solve the OPs problem but your comments are just a fabrication.

[u/Johnny-Unitas]

If you don't know how to post a link, don't you at least know how to take a screenshot? There's different ways.....

[u/NoGrapefruit1213 → u/Johnny-Unitas]

I do know how to both of those things but if you notice the website is up on my computer and I couldn’t be bothered to enter it on my phone where I posted this from. Sorry I’m too lazy for your liking next time I’ll do worse

[u/M3NUTN]

I want 2 of the long ones for my 32" barrel sxs

[u/Remote_Mistake6291]

I have two of them. I am currently using one on a 10 inch Levar12 with zero issues. It works as it should.

[u/Embile3031]

I use the middle one. Works fine. You get more speed on birdshot to knock down steel. I have tiny amount of POI shift on slugs.
