Semi auto shotguns

[user01394]

Any suggestions on budget semi auto shotguns? Are the AK style ones still legal?

The AK style ones need to be modified to single shot via gas puck or w/e its called.

CA assault weapons laws for shotguns requires semi-auto shotguns to operate with a fixed magazine [PC 30515(a)(7)] that can not be removed without disassembling the firearm's action or that is permanently attached in the firearm's magazine well [PC 30515(b)].

Therefore...

1. A semi-auto AK style shotgun with a fixed magazine is CA legal.

2. A manully operated (straight pull bolt-action) repeating AK style shotgun is CA legal.

3. A manually operated (striaght pull bolt-action) single-shot AK style shotgun is CA legal.


*repeating = has a magazine capacity.
*single-shot = does not have a magazine capacity, cartridges are loaded/unloaded directly from the firearm's chamber.

Penal Code 30515
(a) Notwithstanding Section 30510, “assault weapon” also means any of the following:
(6) A semiautomatic shotgun that has both of the following:
(A) A folding or telescoping stock.
(B) A pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon, thumbhole stock, or vertical handgrip.
(7) A semiautomatic shotgun that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine.
(8) Any shotgun with a revolving cylinder.
(b) For purposes of this section, “fixed magazine” means an ammunition feeding device contained in, or permanently attached to, a firearm in such a manner that the device cannot be removed without disassembly of the firearm action.

ALWAYS a lotta Benelli's in the marketplace. Pinch a few more pennies, and buy some peace of mind!

I bought a Hatsan Escort semi automatic 20 guage shotgun gun from Big 5 a few years back for about $350. I have put about 100 rounds through it. It's been been flawless with #3 and 4 buck shot. Does not feed #7 and 8 bird shot very well which is okay with me since it's meant for home defense. A 20 guage semi automatic is what I wanted since I have a bad shoulder from a motorcycle crash. It's has a very mild kick with Federal Premium 2 3/4 #3 ammo. I can also shoot it accurately from down low on my side very fast. It's not a prestigious brand, but it gets good reviews and I am satisfied with it.

You are using it for what?

[BajaJames83]

What's your budget?
IMHO the best bang for your buck is the Remingtin V3 or Versamax they are extremely reliable, require very little cleaning/ maint and are very soft shooting even heavier loads. Many say its recoil is milder than 20ga guns.

I have a C.Z 712g which is a blast to shoot and very light, Have had no issues with it, And price is pretty cheap.

Made my VEPR 12 a fixed mag, had to top load, but damn that shotgun was just amazing. Also, ATLANTIC FIREARMS may still have some for sale? Dehorn/polish the bolt catch/bolt hold open mechanism and run 3 1/4 DRAM shells if you get one. Lube with oil in winter and white lithium grease in summer.

How did you perform the fixed mag on it? I have one myself and just installed a maglatch puck

Check out the Stoeger M3000 Freedom Series. Stoeger is part of the Benelli firearms group. I have the Stoeger M3500. Been using it the past 7 years for dove, pheasant and duck hunting without a single malfunction.
