Review.. Legacy semi auto 12g

[NorCalK9.com]

Ok so i'm no expert on reviews, so forgive me if I leave vital info out.

I recently bought a legacy escort magnum 12g semi auto from big5 for a tad bit over $400

This shotgun comes with a stock and pistol grip, top rail, glow AR type sites, and underbarrel rail.
Shotgun holds 5+1
Trigger is nice
Not too heavy not too light

Important part.....
This shotgun out of the box went thru 5 different types of ammo.
Remington, winchester, fiocci from 1oz loads to buck shot and it cycled all rounds flawlessly. In total I shot 200 rounds in about an hour and a half span and I must admit its definitely worth way more than $400!!

What I dont like... ????
I'm trying to think hard but as of rite now theres nothing I dont like about it.

Lol I cant upload pics from my phone. But trust me when I say, this thing looks good, and is definitely worth the $400 they sell for.

I just bought one of these today at Big5. The only thing I don't care for is the asthetics of the buttstock, specifically the 2 shot shell holder. Must be annoying if your a lefty, which I'm not.

I plan on doing some major cutting and plastic work on the buttstock to shorten the LOP and get rid of the shell holder.

Or Maybe instead of chopping all that up, I will look at fitting an AR tube and use an adjustable Magpul stock somehow.

There is a thread someplace where a guy fitted an ATI collapsable stock on one of these already. I will put up a link when I find it. Actually I thinks it's in the link somebody posted above me.

EDIT. Yep look at post #6 in that link

Then scroll to post 6 of that link.

Thank you for posting the review. Was any of the ammo you shot <low-recoil>type? Some semi-autos tend to have problems cycling those.

Thank you,

I shot low recoil today I only had 15 rounds but it did real good, no probs at all.

Just shot another 100 rounds today, and not a single issue! I used locTite on the top rail today, still havnt cleaned the darn thing, I dont know how to break it down lol.
I cant get enough of this shotgun, my shoulder hurts yet tomorrow im gonna shoot it more.
Maybe i'll learn to shoot trap. Can you use an 18in barrel for trap?

I'd imagine that even low recoil buck is still hotter than low brass birdshot? I think 9 pellet 00 loads equal about 1-1/8oz of lead, so the comparison should be pretty straight across in terms of velocity.

Have you shot any of the wal-mart cheap stuff yet? I was thrilled to get my 3.5" MP-153 eating Federal 1-1/8oz 3 dram bulk stuff. I found out recently that it'll also take 1oz 3-1/4 dram stuff of the same make. Just for the hell of it, I found some 1oz 3 dram "target loads" and will see if it finally chokes it or not.

Anyways, nice gun. Semi auto shotguns are addictive, I just found out.

Yes I got a couple hundred rounds of bulk federal from walmart yesterday, thats what I was shooting today. Major fun.
And yes addictive is rite!

Have you tried the bulk Winchester Walmart stuff yet?

The review I read said they had problems with the Winchester bulk but the Federal ran fine.

Or I guess you can wait till next weekend, as I have both types on hand already and I will let you know if I find any difference between the two brands.

I know it's made in Turkey but I'm surprised the manual doesn't say how to take it apart for cleaning??
