r/canadaguns Loaded .300 Blackout in my 5.56 Rifle 5d ago

Shooting POV Spas 12 Shooting

Gun has run flawless for ~ 250 rounds out of the box (shooting Score 12 Ga 2-3/4" 00 Buck Shot 1oz)
Two main issues do stand out the muzzle comes loose so I added some Lock-Tight to fix that. The magazine tube also seems to come loose with time and shooting. Other than that I’m a happy sailor.

It’s pump action, and semi?

u/starw24-ps4 5d ago

Correct. You press a button under the pump and move the pump forward, now it’s stuck in semi gas mode

u/Flat-Dark-Earth Big Bore Specialist 5d ago

That’s neat.

Fully semi automatic pump action

Typa shit a libéral would say

Yes, pump feature is mostly for lighter loads that won’t cycle in semi

I'm so glad this gun has brought some joy to the Canadian firearm community

Careful mentioning that you are shooting it out of the box without cleaning it, made a post about mine and the first 67ish rounds though it. People crawled through the walls and complained I didn’t clean the gun first even though it was a reliability test and I purposefully did it like that. Rock on boss, had fun with mine today too!

maybe the gun runs flawlessly because he's using the ammo it was designed for xd

u/marley_hill 5d ago

I also used rounds the gun was designed for and it ran flawlessly with them? (In semi auto) Clearly again someone that didn’t read the post. I also just tested target loads for the hell of it. The gun isn’t designed for it, but I just wanted to see how it would do. Too many retards ruined it for people who were actually interested in the gun so I just took it down. FYI, the whole purpose of the gun having pump functionality was to cycle low power shells (rubber rounds, target loads, etc.) so yes I tried it with low powered cheap ammo… should probably read and learn about the platform before commenting.

Its a shotgun i wouldn't be worried at all.

I’ve noticed that and it’s weird people are even doing that. I took the gun apart once just to make sure everything was smooth and put it back together since it didn’t really need any work done. Did my first clean and new lubrication just now and was surprised with how clean she runs.

The point of this platform was to have pump functionality to cycle low power shells. Most of the malfunctions I had were in pump mode with 2 3/4 shells that the firearm is capable of feeding. I ran high brass in semi and never had a hang up. I guess it doesn’t like 2 3/4 shells in pump either maybe. Have to do more testing.

Ayy another down range member

u/Zarknasir Loaded .300 Blackout in my 5.56 Rifle 5d ago

Yessir, can’t beat the convenience of Downrange

u/_MlCE_ 5d ago

Does it cycle on semi-auto shells that are under 1200 fps reliably? (Target loads, birdshot, etc)

1

u/Zarknasir Loaded .300 Blackout in my 5.56 Rifle 4d ago

I wouldn’t be the best person to test this sadly, my local indoor range only allows slugs and 00 buck. I rarely make it out to an outdoor spot. If I get the chance to test lighter target loads outdoors I’ll make an update on it.

u/_MlCE_ 4d ago

>only slugs and 00 buck

...this... this is a thing...?

u/Zarknasir Loaded .300 Blackout in my 5.56 Rifle 4d ago

Most indoor ranges in southern Ontario I’ve noticed do this and have these rules

u/grathontolarsdatarod 4d ago

Question.

Lets say it jams on semi auto mode. Can you switch to pump, manually cycle the shell and keep sending?

1

u/Zarknasir Loaded .300 Blackout in my 5.56 Rifle 4d ago

You should be able to do it. The switch to pump action isn’t the most elegant but I don’t see anything stopping you from doing this.

Nice!

u/Lobsterstarfish 3d ago

As a bc person it always blows my mind seeing a indoor range!

u/guestpassonly 3d ago

The racking sound it does is particularly satisfying

u/schmeatfactory 3d ago

musta looked badass in the frunk of an R8

u/Zarknasir Loaded .300 Blackout in my 5.56 Rifle 3d ago

The guns gotta go behind the seat, the frunk is comically small 😭

u/ExpensiveKoi 5d ago

Good to see score running good in yours too! How did the bolt release hold up for you? After 120 shells of buck/slugs my bolt release started getting a bit stuck. It’s fine now but curious to see how it holds up the next time I head out to the range.

4

u/Zarknasir Loaded .300 Blackout in my 5.56 Rifle 5d ago

Bolt release has been the same from when I opened the box to now. It’s a bit stiff but I wouldn’t say it’s enough to warrant me changing or fixing anything yet. Probably needs some more time to settle in.
When I saw your post of score working I was relieved and ran to grab some for today. Love the posts you put up!

Handled one of these over the weekend at taccom and it feels really cheap, hard pass for me but happy others find enjoyment out of it
