Tacsoras/Ducsoras for Practical shotgun/IPSC

[Spaz]

Hi All,

Been lurking here a while, cheers for a great forum.

I’m considering giving IPSC / practical a shot and the tacsoras/ducsoras look fun plus there’s some good deals around.

Are they a decent platform for the comp or does the need to lock the lever during reload screw them over vs a straight pull?

Bonus question while I have your eyes; are they allowed on field & game ranges?

Cheers!

I would love a serious answer to both, but here's this aptly titled video: brainrot.

I beleieve you can modify the feed ramp to not require the lever to be locked, I haven't modified mine but it is annoying.
The templeton T2000 does not need anything depressed to load rounds into the tube.
(IMO, if you haven't already bought said shotgun, better overall gun, but the tacsoras has a look about them)

Try one first, I find the lever very awkward to run. Have you seen the Buckmaster already?

Also check out the PB223 if you don't already have a rifle for it.

Why does the buckmaster nearly fly out if his hands when he pulls the trigger

Why is it’s walnut stock made of plastic

Some kind of woke timber.

The last gun I had like that fired caps.

I don’t shoot ipsc.

But here’s what I’d be doing. If.

Bushmeister inertia driven + a return spring that actually springs + aftermarket 10 round tube + zombie operator lever mod.

Gotta love Aussie ingenuity when overcoming hardships

@ballisticsenjoyer
Does the lever lock ‘open’ while you’re loading or does it need to be held the whole time?
In that video it looks like he can flip it over and double/quad load, which is about all I was thinking would be needed to be at least ok.
Doubt I’ll ever be quick enough with everything else for the gun to hold me back if I can reload better than one at a time.

I’ll give the Templeton a look too, sulun caught my eye since I feel like reaching down may be easier to keep on the target for follow ups rather than up with the thumb.

@bladeracer
Cheers I’ll give it a look - being able to close the action without taking my hand fully off was why I thought the sulun may be worth a shot. That looks like it might be a step further again.

@womble
Cheers, I’ll give it closer look. Any idea on what the LRD’s view is on mods like that?

That's gold.

Hey, there is a market for wood stocks that don't dent or suck up water in the rain! Some people go out every now and then...

Not everybody straps on their tacticool pretend war-weapon and butters themselves up in front of a big mirror.

I hope?

You gotta hold the lever relase for the the gate to be unlocked, the gate will try and close under spring tension so as soon as you pop a round in, it will close again, but its not really an issue as you've seen if you really want to get fast loading.

I'd go to a shop and hold/cycle both, but the thumb button isn't as awkward as you'd imagine it's pretty satisfying
