Alpo Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Online story. Pretty dumb online story. Guy here's a noise downstairs and goes down with his pump shotgun. Sees the burglars. Racks the shotgun. A little later, after he's decided not to shoot the burglars, he sets the magazine block, pumps the shell out of the chamber, and feeds it back into the magazine. Magazine block? So, has anyone ever heard of such a thing on a pump 12 gauge? Or would this just be some idiocy dreamed up by an online author? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perro Del Diablo Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Browning A5. Grew up with a sweet 16. Yes an automatic but had it. I've also pushed up a lifter to do same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did not remove the detachable magazine, then pump the shell out of the chamber and put it in the detachable magazine. He set the magazine block and then pump the shell out of the chamber. "Removing the magazine" and "setting the magazine block" sounds like two entirely different things to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed some money for tuition and let it go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 why unload and reload ? makes no sense - its just a club when unloaded , keep your tools at hand and ready to use 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozark Huckleberry Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 You'll have more luck searching for it under the term 'cut-off', instead of 'block'. 6 hours ago, watab kid said: why unload and reload ? makes no sense - its just a club when unloaded , keep your tools at hand and ready to use The cut-off isn't about completely unloading the shotgun -- it just stops shells from feeding out of the magazine into the receiver. It lets you cycle the action to unload the chamber without figuring out some way (manipulating lifter, reaching in with a fingertip, etc.) to keep the next shell in the magazine.

Vail Vigilante Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) Browning A5, Beretta 391 Xtrema have that feature. Edit: As do some of the early Browning BPS pump shotguns. Edited August 19 by Vail Vigilante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
