This range day features the SRM-1216 12-gauge shotgun with its unique 16-round rotary magazine, an IWI Tavor converted to 9mm utilizing Colt SMG/Uzi magazines, and a Remington 870 in a Bullpup Unlimited conversion kit. Testing revealed potential feeding issues with the SRM-1216 and a stiff pump action on the bullpup 870. The suppressed Tavor 9mm performed well, though its trigger was noted as heavy.

Quick Summary

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the SRM-1216 shotgun?

The SRM-1216 is a semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun featuring a unique 16-round rotary magazine. This magazine consists of four tubes, each holding four rounds. The shooter must manually rotate the magazine after every four shots to chamber a new round.

Can standard magazines be used with the IWI Tavor 9mm conversion?

Yes, the IWI Tavor 9mm conversion is compatible with standard Colt SMG/Uzi magazines. While IWI initially suggested only their proprietary magazines would work, these common alternatives are functional, though they may not always lock the bolt back after the last round.

What are the handling characteristics of the Bullpup Unlimited 870 kit?

The Bullpup Unlimited 870 conversion kit adds significant friction to the pump action compared to a standard Remington 870. This requires more force to operate and can lead to short-stroking if the pump is not actuated with sufficient speed and power.

What is the Meprolight MOR sight?

The Meprolight MOR is a tri-powered red dot sight that uses tritium, fiber optics, and a battery for illumination. It also integrates both a visible red laser and an infrared (IR) laser, offering versatile aiming capabilities.
