bought a spring kit from midwest gunworks and their weighted end cap. reduced the recoil significantly vs the old spring

My go-to for skeet and trap. And I have a Remington Model 11 that's in-between-the-wars that's a dream to shoot.

Set up the rings and springs right and she's the lowest recoiling auto you'll shoot.

There’s so many myths and misconceptions about Auto 5s.

They’re machine gun fast, if you are.

I’ve even won a couple of fairly large, sporting clays events while shooting a Mag 12 Stalker….my kryloned duck gun. I and my buddies all agreed we’d leave our ‘pretty’ guns at home and shoot our hunting guns, just to see what folks said. It was fun, but I’m not sure some of the Krieghoff shooters thought much of it. You can run light 12 springs and rings on a mag 12 and it’ll shoot any light load out there.

Some of Y'all will surely tell me I'm stupid, but I can hit more birds with an old 870 than with a semi auto. I think the extra time it takes to shuck the shell gives me the needed time to acquire my next target instead of BoomBoomBoom and maybe one puff of feathers. That said, any semi auto should be way faster than your average semi auto operator. Or maybe I'm just slow...
