Finally, higher round count records to show its longevity. Im glad they put good effort into this buukd cause wow its been a while since I wanted a new gun vs a Milsurp

"Great build quality."

Gun starts to spontaneously disassemble itself in a way that affects functionality after 350 rounds.

My brother in Christ, these are mutually exclusive.

[u/Spydude84 → u/Krazee9]

Yeah lol. I haven't ran my A300 this hard, but I cleaned and lubed it from the factory and put 1000 rounds and 2500 rounds through it between cleanings and nothing fell off. At ~2000 rounds I experienced a failure to cycle and again around 2500 before cleaning it. Never needed to locktite anything.

[u/SnoozingBasset → u/Spydude84]

Yup. I have maybe 15,000 rounds through my 1100. Maybe a few F2F when I was using shells that got damp & rusted. 

[u/BI0WEED → u/Krazee9]

I did a raw, out of the box test. It is built well it just needs the classic TLC 90% of firearms on the market today require when you buy it.

[u/Krazee9 → u/BI0WEED]

If you think that 90% of firearms on the market today require you to re-torque every single screw out the box, then I'm afraid that you're only looking at the shittiest Turkey has to offer and it's skewing your view. A well-made gun just needs some grease cleaned off, it doesn't need you to manually re-torque everything on it.

You can like the gun aesthetically and still admit that it's shit.

[u/BI0WEED → u/Krazee9]

Did you miss the part that states "Initial impressions"? The Shoot is the review where I clearly state the issues

[u/TescoValueSoup → u/BI0WEED]

You said QC was great. Do you even QC. I QC.

[u/BI0WEED → u/TescoValueSoup]

There were no blemishes and everything when I opened it was tight. As far as you can tell without shooting it, everything is good

[u/TescoValueSoup → u/BI0WEED]

so unless you actually use it, everything is good.
Got it.

[u/Alexander4848 → u/TescoValueSoup]

"Shotgun was perfect until I shot it"

[u/Lumindan]

How's your shoulder after all that?

[u/BI0WEED → u/Lumindan]

Not terrible but maybe I just like it rough.

SG-12 500 Round Burn Down

Parameters: Factory Fresh high intensity testing with 500 Score 00 Buckshot.

Initial Impressions: Great build quality. Everything was tight and seemed well QC’d. Loading dummy rounds was difficult as was the unfolding of the stock, depressing the buttons takes a lot of effort.

Shoot: The Spas out of the box would not cycle Champion 7.5 Birdshot in Semi. Pump gave us no issues. We then began the burndown with a goal of 500 00 or bust. The first 3-400 rounds went flawlessly. Around 300 rounds we did notice the rear of the bolt having impact marks on the rear, exposing fresh metal. Photos of issues attached.Screws started to loosen up around 350. Muzzle break, Handguard, pistol grip and trigger pins all started vibrating loose. This will easily be fixed with lock tight as we all know needs to be done. At approximately 420-440 we started experiencing light strikes every 3-4 rounds. Resetting the trigger with a half stroke usually allowed the round to fire on the second trigger pull but this issue persisted. At 460~ rounds the magazine tube had wiggled itself loose and due to the front sling mount could not be corrected in the field.

Final impressions: I love this gun, I’ve given the whole thing a clean and proper lubrication now and will test if the light strikes continue.

Tip: The balaclavas make the stock way more tolerable .

Tenda sponsor me, ammo is expensive

[u/varsil → u/BI0WEED]

YouTube just fucked sponsorships from ammo/gun companies.

[u/Iokua_CDN]

Awesome that you did this run down!!!! Thank you!  Can't wait to watch it  and also hear how a good  clean and lubrication affects it

[u/BI0WEED]

There’s matching machining marks in the receiver, interested to see if this progresses at all

[u/TescoValueSoup → u/BI0WEED]

Great build quality. Everything was tight and seemed well QC’d.

The gun is shaving metal.

[u/Horilka → u/BI0WEED]

You're on the right track. See if you can figure out the issue. Hint: it's not just the damage it's causing.

[u/rastamasta45]

Honestly seriously sick video dude, love it! I cannot wait to take mine to the range!!

[u/TheRealBlue68]

Is it me or the stock bending after every shot ?

[u/TescoValueSoup → u/TheRealBlue68]

It is not you.
Play the video at half speed and shudder.

[u/BI0WEED → u/TheRealBlue68]

It's not

[u/starw24-ps4]

Now that’s a burn down ! Way better than the other guys. Great work

[u/Sudden_Season3306]

Bahahahahah stop buying turkshit problem solved!

[u/No-Contribution-6150]

Asks for a tenda sponsorship on a TI gun lol

[u/BI0WEED → u/No-Contribution-6150]

Hey I'm a free agent, I have a bultac to test too

[u/izza123]

I like the production values it’s like an isis video

[u/Glad_Impact_7532]

My 1301 comp has over 6k rounds through it and hasn't given me a single hiccup. Ever. For a little more money you can have something reliable and not a meme gun. 

[u/Dexcessive → u/Glad_Impact_7532]

I get what you’re saying, but a 1301 is double the price of the SG. That’s not exactly “a little more money”.

[u/Glad_Impact_7532 → u/Dexcessive]

They range from 1200 to 1800 on gunpost. And higher if you want it tricked out. 

[u/Dexcessive → u/Glad_Impact_7532]

That’s true, I forgot we’re on the 2nd gens

[u/Basta562]

Now I need one for sure

[u/GinnAdvent]

Be very interested once everything is cleaned, loctite and oiled. It's a keeper!

[u/fuckbitingflies]

Cheap birdshot is the bane of any brand new semi. 😆

[u/Carl_Marsalis_13]

So I guess we don’t need James Reeves anymore… although this guy didn’t wear shorts.

[u/guestpassonly]

damn i want one but the damn government can just ban it at will ffs

[u/under_hunter82376]

and straight to the guns playlist you go !
