Is This the Best Thing to Happen to Shotguns?

[Inquirer]

Just saw this on Facebook - the Black Aces Tactical Mag-Loading Receiver for Remingtons and Mossbergs.



Bang!

i'm good with loading my 870s as they came from the factory.

Interesting....I would like one ASAP!

Is being F'ed up and raped really "the best thing that ever happened" to anyone or anything?

[MossbergMan]

Cute, but not for me. If I want to shoot a box magazine fed PUMP shotgun....oh yeah I wouldn't. I'll shoot my Saiga 12.

[WILDMAN442]

Cool idea. But it's still a pump.

Reliability of the mag system would be my main concern.

Very interesting. This could also be used as the basis of an AOW. Never had a stock.

Meh. Tube mags, IMO, make any gun much more svelte and better handling. Having a protruding box magazine is a detriment both to aesthetics and handling qualities. Obviously, however, tube mags are really only feasible for shotguns, with their flat-topped cartridges, or rifles (and possibly pistols) employing flat-nosed cartridges. Spitzers don't do well in a tube, hence the necessity of a box mag.

Tl;dr version: why add a long box magazine when a tube works better?

The Knoxx SideWinder Kit seemed to never really work to well, I'm sure this NEW system will have some growing pains for sure

I'll believe it when it's not covered up by the stock.
