Saw the heart team on Tuesday and they said my new hardware is working just fine. Celebrated by going to the rifle range yesterday. (Sorry and thanks to Rflshtr for the invite.) I cobbled together a little Mossberg 500 youth gun with a cantilever ported camo colored barrel and an old Weaver 1.5-4.5X scope. Stock's too short, so I slipped on one of those boot style recoil pads to stretch it out a bit. Man, does this think shoot! It's pretty loud with the ported barrel, but the recoil is much more manageable than my old 12 gauge 870 running Fosters.
I shot about a box and a half of Hornandy SST's through it. The last 3 shots made a nice little cloverlear at 100 yards. 3" high and dead on at 50 yards put me centereded vertically and about 2" to the right at 100 yards. This Frankenstein gun shoots honest 1" groups with the very first sabots I tried through it. Sure felt good to spend some time at the range.
