A new cheap practical gun

#1 Post by dave_303 »

I've been hoping to get into practical shotgun once my masters is over so I've kept my eyes out on shotguns on the market.
Friend of mine just sent me this a new Hatsan, but box fed

At first glance it ticks a load of boxes so it will be interesting to see the pricing structure when it hits our shores.

I quite like the look of that

More than a vested interest in 7.62x54r!

Oooooh interesting!

I'm a fan of the Hatsan shotguns (I have one, and will never get rid of it). Although they are the budget end of the scale, they're really good for the money. The build quality is pretty good too.

I know they had some issues with the early escort S/A, but I think they resolved that.

Will be interesting to see what the cost and availability of the magazines is like too. The only downsides I can see, are no AR parts compatability and I'm not a fan of that type of sight for PSG, but they look removeable anyway..

Edgar Bros are the Hatsan importers - get pestering if you want them to bring it over.

Looking at it again, it does have an ominous looking button near the handguard were the infamous magazine button was on the original..... Could be the bolt release i suppose but why have that on the right side of the gun and so far away from the grip wallhead WOuld be interesting to see the left side of the gun
