Credit where it is due sir! Very cool stuff. I've got some of those OpSol adapters, gen 1 and 2 and their complementing follower, but I haven't had the time to test them out. I need to go and have some fun at the range. Life is just work-work-work these days. People seem to have good results with them.

The neat thing about the shorty shells for me is reloading. After a couple reloads of conventional length 12 gauge the shells don't like to take a crimp anymore or are too thin/brittle from the heat exposure, so you just trim off the end and voila! Brand new shells with a primer pocket squeeze, and more reloads, just in a shorter format.

I think I know what shotgun you are talking about, Is this the one? : https://modernfirearms.net/en/shotguns/south-africa-shotguns/mag-7-eng/

You know I've always wanted to learn how to design man. I'm an ideas guy, but I need to try and get involved. I'd love to be able to make my own designs for my saiga 12 and other firearms since it's not a very developed area in the space, a few designs here and there. My idea for your design is to hunt down a double stack mossberg magazine, cut it open and study it's internal geometry and adapt it for the mini shell lengths, but I really like your single stack design as well. I hear you about the open bolt challenges, be careful testing with OOB my friend and stay safe. GOOD LUCK! It's awesome work.

    That's absolutely dastardly. I love it. I have thought about a single stack mag fed mini shell shotgun for so long, MANY years. Or somehow converting a saiga 12 to minishell mags. The only thing you really need to worry about is rimlock of the shells. I would LOVE to see this released. It would keep me from designing a pump action mossberg receiver that's mini shell only length. I keep thinking it would be nice to have a super compact pump, but this looks like it would be blowback awesomeness.

    It may have actually worked if he knew how to use the wrench. You must always turn the adjustable wrench to the side that has the moving jaw. He turned the wrench to the side with the stationary jaw. Cool channel though.

    What's your life worth? What's your buddy's life worth? (forum.guncadindex.com)
     

    I just want to pass this story along to the community.

    Back when I was in nursing school during the pandemic, I remember hearing about how Canadian scientists had developed a snake venom based product that used UV light to cure itself and stop bleeding cold in its tracks. They did some experiments with rats and cut parts of the poor things off to induce terminal bleed out cases to test their formulation and actually had great success keeping the rats from fatal exsanguination. I always wondered if anything like that would ever be available for civilians.

    Recent advances in medical technology have given rise to new treatment options for severe bleeding control. Years and years ago the Japanese began experimenting with "chitosan," you may have heard about it. Long story short it comes from crustacean exoskeletons. It can be made into all sorts of things.

    A new company has figured out how to make a spray foam out of the stuff that is potent enough to stop arterial bleeding. Because it's a spray foam it can cover and coat complex surfaces like no bandage can. It's FDA approved, if that means anything to you or not.

    It's 70 bucks for the pro grade stuff, it's the same formulation as the cheaper smaller can you just get more of it for bigger problems. They are single use cans of spray foam that stops bleeding very effectively. It requires zero training to use, point and spray.

    Many of you guys are out here experimenting with some very cool shit, but have you ever considered what you would do if things went wrong? Hopefully you are taking precautions testing new builds and designs when needed, but even if you are I ask you to think about buying a can of this stuff for your go bag. It has a decent shelf life too, 3 years at room temp. You can even get it on payment plans and pay it off as you go, I did.

    I don't work for this company, but I truly appreciate being around to benefit from the amazing minds that have released things to the community free of charge 99.9% of the time. My hope is that someday I can pick up some design skills and be able to make cool shit too.

    Check this shit out. Buy a couple cans. Tell people you care about. Godspeed.
