MaxGunsIssue - I come from a time when you understand how to use what has been established, so it's nice to see a weapon built for the shooter. Typical use tubular magazine shotgun, limiting their ability to recharge and problematic at best, especially in the tactical environment in the real world. Of course they were better today, but for the most part tubular magazine-fed shotgun has been retooled, modified and accessorized with a limit of reliable operation and convenient. Yes, they are faster, smoother and better than ever, but they still eat shotgun magazine-tube, and many changes have no place outside competition. In short, keep this weapon is loaded and operated in a tactical environment or the police keep their biggest weakness. While other problems arise, the most often cited as the reason why the guns were replaced by EI, and it's pretty hard to argue with. Has worked as an AR shotguns that will be tons easier to use, by train and transition to AR-style shotguns.
Prior to the introduction of artificial MKA 1919 Turkish border, an attempt to measure based on AR-12 shotgun rare. The USAS-12 is a very interesting and fun to shoot, but it is a select-fire weapon. That, coupled with the point of origin Korea, making new things, even when an attempt is made to import a semi-automatic variants. For military use, there are AA-12 or Atchisson assault shotguns, but only available in a fully automated, so it is more rare.
Really worth AR-style shotguns did not come until Akdal MKA 1919 hit the market in 2007. About as close as it gets to the AR, it became very popular among fans and competitors with law enforcement agencies to get their hands on it. Imported from Turkey, it is lightweight and affordable, and is now available in a fully modified version. Basic gun costs $ 500, with a system such as converting Tooth & Nail run nearly $ 2,000. The original charger capacity of five laps, with version 10 spare rounds. These are all things that tidy, but MKA 1919 just slightly out of reach for most tasks looking gun. But in 1919 MKA game imported by European American Armory (EAA) companies, making small changes.
1919 Match Year
The MKA 1919 Match is a magazine AR style shotgun meal designed to be used both 2¾- shells and 3 inches. Constructed mostly of polymer, it is light and handy. Similar to the full-size AR-15, using flattop rail, a carrying handle / removable rear view and A2-style handlebar post.
Gun control mimic those of RA and 1919 MKA game using the ambidextrous safety bolts and extended news magazine. Magazine which is metal, and the key actions open after the last round. A number of extended load paired with a redesigned bolt. Both action and block the loading has been redesigned to better reliability.
Now it is easier to record MKA 1919 Suitable for cleaning and maintenance, and two gas rings and floating metallic fuel rail installed to improve the reliability of the various types of ammunition. EAA ship metal shotgun with two magazines of five rounds, the three reactors and the tools to install them.
Range Reports
Mainly focused on the use of MKA 1919 game as a tactical shotgun, especially out-of-the-box, the only accessory I added to the test is the Bushnell Elite Tactical 1x32mm TCQ red-dot sight, which has seen the use of some weapons and has held up well from time. It mounts easily, quite light and provide fast acquisition target. As I mentioned, in 1919 the ship MKA game with carry handle / rear view AR style, although not nearly as large as A2-style carry handle typical. I use it for the first few laps on the beach, and it worked well, but the red dot offers a bit more precision. If you plan to run a miniature reflex viewfinder, you will probably need to add the riser to work with handlebars. (Also, do not block gas handlebar and can be removed easily if necessary. Simply unscrew the two screws and it will slide right off. But in the short term to add handguard spare parts, you will not handle the capacity.)
Many of these weapons is a polymer, making enough light. Weighing is £ 7.5 officially dismantled, and it feels similar to running AR 20-inch barrel. It also uses a fixed length of 14.5 inches stock traction, which is a bit long in the tactical world. It was used while wearing body armor, but it takes some practice to get faster shotgun in my shoulder pocket. Those with short sleeves can find great MKA 1919 Match. Add plate and support and it will be a little more difficult to maintain the position of the squares.
Guard the factory is long, which makes it very easy to get a solid grip. Even if you hold the guard near the receiver, you are always in control. It is easy to stretch my hand further support to the headrest which effectively controls the ascent. Moving between targets, the shotgun fast, powerful and accurate.
Two inductors using wireless Winchester models are provided, so you can add as brakes and with the same child. The shotgun is structured with a standard starter pre-installed, so there is no need to install another.
Feed the animals
My biggest concern with this pistol reliability right out of the box. EAA show that ran from 6000 rpm MKA 1919 game without a single failure. It is also expected to do a lot of exercise less recoil. From my point of view, with an MSRP of $ 699, which is important. Most shotguns patrol simple enough, so that all the good stuff but not necessarily required. No need to work, however, and practice ammunition.
I ran some popular accrued through this gun, and they all worked perfectly, including the cost of the most common police practice, Top Gun 1200 fps target federal ammunition. The MKA 1919 game works well with many high and low brass, with aluminum-framed shell and brass. Fired a bullet into a 4-inch circle at 25 yards, the gun is perfect. With buckshot tactics, the game has created 1,919 MKA models on par with most every shotgun today UNDER 6 inches with a 25-yard and a big hole from 15 yards and in. The shotgun is done either as shotguns've adjusted tested in recent years.
This shotgun is quite comfortable for interesting trends, which is something you can not say about most tubular magazine fed shotguns. Ergonomics of MKA 1919 matches mimic CA, which makes it easy to stay clear off-hand, kneeling, lying down position without the support and others. Using an overhand grip, pistol stay put, even with large-caliber bullets and buckshot high power. I use shells 2¾-inch to 3-inch shells are rare in the police community. While the 3-inch magnum buckshot is the norm in the army shells 2¾ inches is preferred in applying the law. With a red dot which MKA 1919 Bushnell CQTS fast game on the target and the lights at the rear. Swing like AR and points as well, and even trigger is typical mil-spec models.
Bolt lock again after the last round, and the release bolt works every time. During my testing, it is the biggest single advantage. Reload the gun was like one of my reload EI. Magazine fits in my pocket 0.308 and the platform of the chest, which makes the transition fairly simple. The only difference is the need to execute a handle grip bolts instead of charging if required. During the day, the action never fails to go to the battery using the release latch, so it was never raised as a rule. Although I did not test the original MKA 1919, enlarged and bolts of the game press magazine was the perfect size; they are very easy to access, without getting in the way.
Ambidextrous safety is also very convenient. It was crisp and operated like my EI well equipped, which means that I do not have to change the formative years. In short, alternating between the shotgun and the AR is perfect.
AR-Style Animals
If you are looking for a service shotgun requires no real change in the operation of your AR, this weapon fits the bill is about as good as possible. That may be why more than a few organizations have asked about them. Transition to the 1919 games will be transparent enough MKA beyond learning to run straight handle the load when needed.
As I mentioned, shotguns ran perfectly and always maintained the bolt open after the last round. Even vepr I will not do without the change, and no semi-automatic shotguns were the same, I tested worked well straight out of the box. The MKA 1919 shooter game is sweet, make a lot of buckshot typical tactics of control and is very easy on the shoulder.
For serious consideration as a police gun, you will need to mount a flashlight. There are a few barrels of cheap frames that can work with MKA in 1919 Match. You can also install railed handguard, but because it is imported, you should ensure that you are always in line 922r. Some companies make replacement accessories for hosting this and previous versions. A lot of work on them for the Match. Given time, it will not be a problem.
Overall, it was an awesome shotgun. He ran well with the most popular practice ammunition used by a competitor and law enforcement. Accuracy is very good with a bullet.
The MKA 1919 game is pretty solid choice for the task. It is easy and equipped for patrol work because most of the other options out there, and about half the cost, it is definitely worth a close look if you're in the market for semi-automatic shotgun.
