12 ga coach gun question?

[Buckshot Ben SASS #44252]

My goal is to find a 12ga hammer coach gun under $500... that will except an EAA 45-70 insert.

I know the the barrel needs to be 20", with 2 3/4, and screw in chokes... does anyone know if those are the only criteria?

does anyone know if it has to be an EAA shotgun??

My only issue with the EAA is (so I've been told) that the hammers aren't "real" hammers. By cocking thim, you cock the internal hammers.

I would prefer traditional, functional hammers?

any input on these topics would be helpful.

EAA 34-70 insert

------

from EAA web site. I'm sure you have gone over this already.

-----------------------

"The barrel insert will only work on the above model shotguns that have the following features: 20-12ga/2.75 barrel, factory installed screw chokes and extractor."

 

EAA/Baikal models IZH43, IZH43K, IZH43KH, or MP213 shotgun

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Baikal has imported any of those false hammer guns in many years. Seems to me all the recently imported ones sported real hammers.

 

Everybody hated those flimsy false cockers so they went the way of the dodo many moons ago. Stands to reason that if you can't sell a model with a certain feature to your target audience that you would stop import of that model and I really think they did just that long ago.

 

If I were gonna do it I would only add the 45-70 sleeve to one side and leave the other side 12 gauge. I've heard it is virtually impossible to regulate two of the rifle barrels to the same point of aim with that system.

I've got the IZH43KH model.

 

Baikal Bounty Hunter II, w/external hammers, 20"BBL and screw in chokes. Have two TTNs now so don't need this one, although I though about shooting skeet with it for fun.

 

PM me if interested.
