    Forgotten aluminum shotgun

    Back in the 1960s, people thought aluminum was set to change the world. Decades later, Ian of Forgotten Weapons decides to review the aluminum AR-17 Shotgun.

      interesting reminds me of the winchesters 1200,1300,1400

      i see what they were trying to do make something light and comparable to an over under

      not sure why he chose to load it that way i would drop one in the chamber through the ejection then put one in the lower feeder

              That Robert Stack? I recall him being an avid clay shooter. HoF class.

              Poor vid but Prado folks should like it. Bygone era.

                    The unsolved mysteries theme songs from the earlier seasons always sent chills down my spine when I was a child. Coupled with Robert stack’s ominous voice.

                    Robert Stack is undoubtedly a very accomplished and enthused man. RIP!

                        Interesting. I wonder why no one has tried to make another aluminum shotgun.

                          Don't forget the forgotten aluminum and fiberglass shotgun.

                            I like aluminum receiver x steel barrel shotguns. Aluminum barrel would have crappy balance. Maybe a survival type design, but not for wingshooting.

                              There's plenty of aluminium receiver shotguns millions of Mossberg 500's and Winchester 1200/1300 pattern shotguns have been made. I have only run across those AR17 shotguns 2-3x in my life.
