Gun Review Utas UTS 1. Shotgun. It seems like double tubed shotguns are all the rage these days. Kel Tec kicked off the craze in the U. S. with their KSG and the response from the public was so overwhelming that there were bound to be other players trying to muscle in on the market. One of those competitors is Turkish maker Utas Makine who have come out with their UTS 1. Neostead NS2. 00. And while the shotgun looks like its right off the set of Aliens, is it something youll want to put in your safe or nuke from orbitThe first version of the gun was pretty much game over, man. In short, the original UTS 1. It would fire for two or three rounds and then the gun would have a malfunction. Either the shell failed to eject or it double fed. But it was impossible to get through more than five rounds without having to clear a stoppage. Some might blame this on the shooter, but when we tested the original UTS 1. And as for the proficiency of the shooters, they were Kevin Brittingham founder of Advanced Armament, Reed Trey Knight, III of the Knights Armament dynasty, Johnny weapons instructor for special operations teams and me. I have come across a double barrel 12 gage and the only thing it has is American Gun Company the serial number has a 2 over the serial 45303. It is a double barrel 12. So were pretty sure it was the gun and not us. This shotgun has been on the market for a couple years, but the guys at Utas werent happy with the Gen 1 version. In fact, when I asked them to give me one to review they told me that they were in the process of revising the design and that theyd send me one as soon as that was done. Now, over a year later, that revision is complete. There are many things that Utas has improved in the newer rev of the UTS 1.

Previous versions had the markings and requisite holes for the device, allowing it to be installed as a kit. Now, in the latest version, it comes pre installed. A switch on the right side of the gun allows the shooter to activate either the flashlight or a laser but not both at the same time. The light and laser work fine, though. Looking over the rest of the gun, you can see that this is a very different design than the Kel Tec KSG. While the KSG had the magazine tubes mounted below the barrel, the UTS 1. This lowers the relative position of the barrel into a more AR 1. IthacaFluesNo1andonehalfJuly1915.jpg' alt='American Gun Company Double Barrel Shotgun Serial Numbers' title='American Gun Company Double Barrel Shotgun Serial Numbers' />That reduces muzzle rise, which is a neat trick. That lower firing position relative to the magazine means that the lifter mechanism is reversed. Its more like a smackdown ramp. Anyway, the mechanism works and the rounds find their way into the chamber somehow. In order to enable the mechanism to work in a bullpup configuration, practically the entire buttstock is used to house the operating mechanism. The top cover lifts off if you pull on it no pins or screws required and gives you access to the internal workings of the gun, much like an FS 2. Winchester Model 12 12 Gauge Pump Shotgun 2 Barrel Set for sale online. That stock design does have some drawbacks, namely that it doesnt feel very comfortable. The length of pull is too short for me to use my usual shotgun grip and stance, which makes me feel a little like Lennie petting a rabbit when I hold it. This is probably a training issue and if I used it more often it would feel better. Its just something that takes some getting used to. In order to squeeze the gun into a tighter package, the ejection port for the shotgun is set behind the grip of the gun. This puts it in a rather uncomfortable spot for left handed folks, ejecting the spent hulls directly into the mouth of the shooter. American Gun Company Double Barrel Shotgun Serial Numbers' title='American Gun Company Double Barrel Shotgun Serial Numbers' />No bueno. Another feature of the ejection port is an AR 1. When the action cycles, the magnet disconnects and the the port opens. However, unlike with the AR 1. As a result, the cover has a tendency to flap about as the rounds are flying downrange. Loading the shotgun isinteresting. There are two flaps on either side of the top of the shotgun that open to reveal the mag tubes. These covers are held in place by spring loaded detents and require a bit of force to open. Then, to stock the mags you need to push the plunger assembly forward and then load each individual round into the tube one at a time. I tried to perform the usual load two shotgun loading method, but it didnt work. The angle of the flap combined with the awkward angle of the port makes loading this thing quickly downright impossible. Speaking of impossible, topping off a partially filled magazine tube is a tall order with this thing. When the magazine is empty and you need to load it, its easy as pie. But when there are rounds already in the tubes and youre in the firing position, its tough. When you close the latch, the last round in the magazine is released and pushed backwards until it hits the keeper thats part of the magazine tube selector assembly, followed by the rest of the rounds in the mag. If you want to top off the magazine, you need to push these rounds back up into the magazine before adding the fresh shells. Compared to the KSG, loading an empty UTS 1. Where the KSG has a blind loading port, the UTS 1. Its a solid improvement, but still awkward for those used to running a traditional shotgun. Loading up a partially filled tube, however, is much worse than with the KSG. One thing I liked a lot about the magazines on the UTS 1. Theres also a central position where you can feed from both simultaneously. That central position alternates between the left and right tubes, depleting the ammo evenly. Its a definite improvement over the KSGs operation where you needed to switch the selector lever if you want to switch magazine tubes. Also on the list of things I liked is the slot running the length of the mag tube that lets you see how many shells are loaded. Its a nifty feature, but like the cutaway magazines in the Chauchat the hipster of magazines they were windowed PMAGs before windowed PMAGs were cool it probably lowers the reliability a bit in dusty environments. A couple final thoughts about the design before we move on the grip is a standard AR 1. Another convenience is that the shotgun is a dream to disassemble you unscrew one piece and the gun splits in half. Re assembly is similarly simple, since you arent wrestling a magazine follower into place. Speaking of switching things around, the shotgun features a barrel thats threaded for chokes. The version I had shipped with a standard round cylinder choke, but also included a funky looking improved cylinder door breaching thing and this barrel extension. That could be helpful if youre shooting trap, I suppose. Also included are a set of removable notch and post sights, but thanks to the full length rail across the top of the gun you can mount whatever aiming device your little heart desires. As for firing the gun, it works now. Mostly. The new and improved UTS 1. Where previously I couldnt get through more than a handful of rounds without a jam, the issue seems to have been fixed and Im a happy shooter. But theres still a problem. While the shotgun runs fine with 2 34 inch shells, its supposed to run with everything up to 3 magnum shells. However, it really doesnt like slugs. Even slamming the pump forward with all my strength, every once in a while it would fail to lock on a slug. It took some extreme effort to get the breech closed, much more so than any other shotgun Ive ever fired. Just because it doesnt like to chamber slugs doesnt mean that the gun doesnt like shooting them. Quite the contrary, its actually pretty accurate as evidenced by this 2. The UTS 1. 5 shotgun has had issues from day one, and it continues to have a few design flaws. But despite those hiccups, I definitely see a market for something like this. Blue Book of Gun Values.
