John Kloehr 981 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Drool... Looking at the chamfer on the chambers, I like that the lower part of the ring is not molested, leaving a good seat for the shells while easing reload. I would look badass with that shottie! Alas, no funds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yohan 15 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Hey Tyrel, I'll trade you my Papa Dave worked Yildiz with 20 inch barrels :-). My rifle and pistols are both done by Boomstick. :-) It would look good next to my SKB :-) :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bgavin 1,556 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Tyrel, is this a good recommendation over a Stoeger? I am hopeful that somebody is making a higher quality SxS than Stoeger, without jumping into the premium class. Academic interest only... just curious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty much anything is better than a Stoeger built in the last 2-3 years. That said, I've heard nothing but good things about these guns. Capt. George Baylor did a write up on them in the Cowboy Chronicle. Boomstick Jay has given his blessing and he is unquestionably one of the best CAS Gunsmiths. I'm no gunsmith, but it is a well made gun and the metal seems good. It is lighter than my SKB 100. It has single mechanical triggers that some desire. It is a little stiffer than I like, don't know if it will loosen up any more or not. I notice that my inertia reset all open easier than my mechanical trigger guns; no idea why that is, but I'm sticking with inertia. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I read the Captain's write-up in the Chronicle.. piqued my interest. I got lucky instead, wound up with Deuce's Charles Daly (Miroku) 1970s era. A real keeper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain George Baylor's review of this shotgun also got me interested in it, and I'm happy to report that it is indeed a great firearm! I actually recently wrote a review article about the 512T from a newer shooter's perspective, and I'm honored that it was just published in the January 2021 issue of The Cowboy Chronicle too. It starts on page 28 if anybody is interested in checking it out. If you're considering one but are fence about this listing, Tyrel Cody is offering it for a very fair price considering the work that has been done to it! 8 hours ago, Tyrel Cody said: Pretty sure it was cut down, there are no threads at the muzzle that I can see. It makes sense that this particular model was cut down and therefore has no screw-in chokes because I believe the models with a gold-colored trigger (as opposed to a plain/stainless steel one) started life with 28" barrels, at least according to the Charles Daly website. Either way, it's a great shotgun! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, when I last spoke with Jay he said he got in some 28” 512’s and was going to cut them down, he said he liked 22” because the extra weight likes them drop open a little better than the 20” 512 coach gun.

Bingo Montana 81 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I have been using a CD 512 for about 6 months now from Jay @ Boomstick Arms. The barrels have been cut to 22", and has his full action job. He really does great work, the shotgun is lightweight and handles really well. The forcing cones have been lengthened and a Kick-eez recoil pad added, which does help with recoil I also have a 512T (coach model) from Jay did without a Kick-eez, but with all the same work done as the 512 and you can tell a difference in recoil. It's been a great shotgun for the money. It was a big upgrade from the Stoeger I was using so if you are looking for a good quality competition shotgun the 512 may be for you. Here is a video of it in action: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
