AR-15 shotgun upper

I’m still wavering on this. I’m eliminating the ODG brace w/ black strap from the decision. Why I’m stuck:

I think the ODG looks great. But I’ve somewhat color-coded my ARs and ODG is for my 6.8 stuff. So the big splash of ODG as the brace is causing me think it looks too much like my MOE ODG stock.

Having the camo SF, plus the grip and rail pieces add just enough color for this one to be different. I initially considered swapping to ODG sights, but that goes back to my “too close to my 6.8” look.

Took a couple more pics where the lighting is more consistent.

Here’s the 6.8 SBR vs the AR-410 w/ ODG brace...

I still say the black one with camo SF.
The little bit of green in the strap balances out the other little bits of green nicely.

I’m at least 90% there with you. :D
 
Three minor updates.

Still had a backorder in (since 2/24) with Optics Planet for the choke set. Got an in-stock notification from KYGunCo today and placed an order. The set was $14 cheaper, but shipping was $12 instead of free. Oh well, $2 is $2. Canceled the order with OP. Hopefully it wasn’t an inventory glitch with KGC.

Ordered a set of black XTM Enhanced rail panels. Going to do some type of pattern with them and the ODG...so it’ll semi-match the SplitFix.

Order for the 000 buck with Bass Pro is still in process since 4/15. They authorized my card again today, which is the 7th time they’ve done so. However, I did manage to score 4 boxes at the Salisbury gun show this last weekend!! One vendor had 4 @ $19, and another had 4 @ $15. I opted for the less expensive. :D (and probably should’ve offered the first guy $60 for his four boxes, but didn’t have cash)

Just noticed Centerfire Systems has blem uppers for $249.99 (and $9.99 shipping)...no flip-ups sights included.
 
What mags are the good ones? How much?
 
The ATI mags. They have 5 and 15 rounders. Kinda wish they made a 10 like the crappy one that comes with the upper.

Finally got a shipping notice a week later...yay!
 
Funny story...

I’d planned on loaning this firearm to @gunbelt the next time he was going to see @BatteryOaksBilly so they could give it a run. Then Curt decided he’d rather start passing out instead of going to visit, so it hasn’t worked out yet.

I brought it to work this afternoon because a coworker wanted to check it out. But then since they knew it was in my truck, I told them I was taking it with me in the company ride so they didn’t need to break into my truck and steal it. :D

I get dispatched on my first job and it’s directly across the street from Curt’s neighborhood. Not only am I close to Curt, I have the firearm in the back seat. Called Curt to make sure he was home, and dropped it off. Even got to see the scar. :eek:

Hopefully he gets to run down to BO this weekend...and if not, maybe next weekend. Looking foreword to seeing what the gang thinks of it, good and bad.
 
4 months later...these finally showed up (after ordering from KYGunCo and canceling Optics Planet order).

Wish they’d been here a day earlier so I could’ve sent them with @gunbelt :(
 
Battery Oaks Billy says....

"Imagine being hit by 4 .38s at one time. We knew what the outcome would be
because of the time and money spent to find out The Best .410 defense load."

Distances are 5, 7, 10, 12, 15.

Thanks @Button Pusher for the pics...

Do we have distances available? Were the targets above all from the same spot? Or various distances? (You may be about to post that info, but as I’m typing this it wasn’t posted)

Be interested in hearing anybody’s impression of it. Whether you got to shoot it, or just handle it, or observed it being shot.

I PMd with @BatteryOaksBilly a little it, but would be interested in him posting anything good or bad about the platform itself.
 
The gun was 100% with what little we shot. At 5, which was the first picture with me in it there was a 1 pellet hole, they All hit together. Then 7,10,12 and 15. At 15 all could be covered by my hand. I think with this load this shotgun would be viable to 20 yards . The problem then would be effectiveness on target. The 4 shot pattern would still be hand size...Nothing else will do this, Nothing. The biggest waste of money for this gauge is the Winchester stuff with variable size pellets and some discs. This crap won't stay on a B27 at 7 yards. No firearm has to serve any purpose for me other than fun. I think this is what this is all about....though inside 10 yards.....Ouch!!! I appreciate the opportunity to try it and all liked the look and feel of it. Thanks Again....Billy
 
Not that it’s a big change...but I realized I never posted a pic after going with a black/ODG checkboard design on the rail panels.

@Scsmith42 - you pick one up, yet?
 
Don't dig up old threads like that. I thought you were selling it and almost had 2 heart attacks. 1 for you selling and 1 for i saw it first yeah yeah stupid me 🤣

In all fairness, it was triggered by a PM a couple days ago asking where this thread was. 🤪
 
I tried to find another .410 upper to play with and none in stock anywhere. So I built another 300BO.
