Anyone know of such a gun?

[Alpo]

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?

Browning A5. Grew up with a sweet 16. Yes an automatic but had it. I've also pushed up a lifter to do same.

I don't think any of those qualify.

 

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.

Ah, man.  Now you went and done it.  Got me to mooning about a Sweet Sixten I had as  a younger man.  Needed some money for tuition and let it go.

I get a lot of things like these. Looks like it.might be a chamber flag type of thing

why unload and reload ? makes no sense - its just a club when unloaded , keep your tools at hand and ready to use

You'll have more luck searching for it under the term 'cut-off', instead of 'block'.

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.

Yes, I have a high standard that is built that way

[Vail Vigilante]

Browning A5, Beretta 391 Xtrema have that feature.

Edit:

As do some of the early Browning BPS pump shotguns.

It can be a BIG help in a 3gun match if you need a slug in the middle of a bunch of shot targets.
