yes, twigs, branches, snakes, acorns, forks, welding rods, coins, pocket lint...and many other things can potentially jam into the tiny slots and jam up the spring loaded rounds. so, please don't buy these ridiculous so-called "tacticool" shotguns.
leaves more of a chance for me to pick one up |

Quoted: Nice pics - how are you liking it so far? Dont get mine for about another 2 weeks. cant wait. comes with flip up sights, and the breaching choke. Light and laser not ready yet. Should be a couple of months Im told and the price is expected to be under $200. I will be getting that when its available.

Quoted: Do you know if UTAS Is planning on continuing the Direct sales via GB?Atlantic Firearms will be a distributor for these shotguns and will be doing a You Tube video review in the next few weeks we will post it here for further info on this new product . http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/data/default/images/catalog/large/UTS15.jpg Or will they be transitioning over to a traditional distribution chain model with the UTS-15 being sold through LGS?

Quoted: This is from the KTOG forum from one of our Canadian frends who has access to both UTS-15 and KSG Well, if nothing else, the UTS-15 does accomplish the near-impossible... it makes the KSG look almost sleek. (Not that I'd turn down either one, FTR.) |

Maybe I'll get one next year once the enclosed mag tubes are in place. Also would like to see how the weapon performs after some use. I've been an early adapter on new products and have had some bad experiences. The MSAR LTD was one of them.

Looks like the second group of UTS-15's sold out on gunbroker,
I Just talked to the people at UTAS and they are boxing up completed Shotguns for shipment. Congrats to those of you who got one of the first 75 shotguns. Looks like from here on out it will be a normal distribution chain to your LGS. |

Not so, they are back on GB too with like 20+ more.
You can also pre-order from an online site for <1k price tag. No sights though. |

When the KSG first came out I got in on a preorder for a fantastic
Price of less than $700. I was number 50 on their list. After about 3 months I calculated At the rate they were recieving KSG's I was looking at a five year wait. I was able to cancel my order at no charge. The $25 non refundable pre order charge is a nice touch. I hope people that buy from this site actually get their guns. |

This an the Saiga-12 are the only shotguns that I'm interested in. I'll never own Kel-Tec's shit. I'm not worried about anything getting in the magazine tubes because I consider shotguns to be urban weapons.

i think i'll stick with my M-1 or my 590 Kind of leaning this way myself although I like the idea of it! |

Quoted:
The GB auction for UTS-15 is back up. 25 shotguns are available. Do you remember the price? Ne'mind, I didn't read far enough! |
|
The first US made UTS-15's have shipped.
Tracking numbers are going out.

Whoever purchased theirs already, please post pics and a range report.

I will post pics and what I've learned about the UTS-15. I get mine Tues.

Came it yesterday
Impressions The Trigger is fantastic. Its big feeling, but as shown is not any longer than other bull pups The sights that came with are nice, but I have replaced them with an EoTech 512 the slide and lockup felt very tight at first. took an effort when sliding forward the last inch to achieve lockup. But I have been playing with it for half a day now and I can feel it starting to loosen up. I have 2 plastic bullpups. the FS2000 and now the UTS-15 The UTS-15 is not a hard plastic feel like the FS2000 there is some flex to some of the larger pieces. I am planning on getting the sealed magazine tubes when they come available. There is a place for the laser light switch already on the gun which is cool. I like the AR style safety. I wish the slide release was more accessible. Its located on the under side of the stock behind the grip. I think I prefer the shorter choke cylinder that comes stock. The gun is impressive, and very ugly but its ugly in a very good way. Looking forward to a range day. Pictured below FN FS2000 UTS-15 K&M M17s |

How's the fit and build quality? I am seriously considering one of these for next year after the solid mags tubes are ready.

They should just have a clear polymer cover that is mounted over the slotted tube so you can see how many rounds are in it but it isn't exposed to the elements.

That thing looks awesome..and extremely heavy!
How much does that thing weigh fully loaded? |

Quoted: Seriously the thing feels light as a feather in relation to it size.That thing looks awesome..and extremely heavy! How much does that thing weigh fully loaded? Its all polymer. Now fully loaded? Thats another story How much does 15 rounds of 12 gauge weigh? The magazine tubes are fine the way they are for an urban or home defense setting. If you are planning on rolling around in the brush and twigs, the solid magazine tubes which will be out in about 2 months will be a good idea. From what I hear the solid magazine tubes will be new standard configuration in about 2 months. For those of us who already have our UTS-15 They are going to send a set of solid magazine tubes to anybody who wants them. |

Nice, I think it looks awesome. Yes, bullpups do sometimes look odd, but they grow on you.
|
|
For as bulky as it looks this is good news to me. Thanks for the reply!

I just received mine a few days ago and it's a BEAST!! Not heavy like you would expect. Haven't gotten a chance to shoot it yet but I plan to next week. I pre-ordered this shotgun through Rockwell Firearms (discussed earlier in this thread) and it was shipped promptly when it arrived. I know there was a concern about per-orders and whether or not people would eventually get the products. No such issues with Rockwell. I think they have a few still in stock. 1200 will get you the shotgun with tactical choke tube and iron sights.
Also, this is my first bullpup so I'm pretty pumped about it!!! |
|
Wasn't there some announcement about a left hand version being available in early 2013? Does anyone else remember this, or am I losing my mind?
|
|
I am also a lefty and I read on one of the Bullpup forums that a couple lefty's shot the UTS and had no problem with shells in the face at all. Apparently the ejection port sits well below your chin and they said it work very well with no problems at all. I am seriously thinking about one myself.

Why isn't there a removable mag system on a gun like this. It would look like a tube, you could eject the empty tube and slap in a loaded one. It seems a logical evolution. UTAS-USA are you listening?

So are these available in the other camo editions yet ? Only see the black one , and only at a few places so far.

Yup,...I wouldn't have ordered one if I watched that video....Definitely hoping they covered the tubes on mine...I should have been paying attention a little better, I didn't realize that they were open like that...I just can't believe their design team thought that, that was ok....Pretty lame to say the least.... I'll probably machine my own tube selector switch. People are breaking it left and right....Come on UTAS, what does it take to make one out of a hard anodized aluminum?... Gonna see if I can find a simple way to lock the top cover down. I spent about 20hrs re-designing a Masterpiece Arms Mac clone 22lr pistol to get it running....Amazing what I had to do to that, but it runs pretty damn good now...I'm not gonna fuck with this thing to that extent at $1000....It's going back to the manufacturer and if they can't fix it the FIRST time, I'm getting my money back...Tired of fixing other peoples garbage.
Does anyone know if that tube selector switch can be used once the tubes are filled?....Seems that Hickok45 couldn't select a tube once they were filled....That is a pretty useless feature if that's the case....Why is it that there is no discussion about this? |

I made it to 2:28. Couldn't take any more. He's all about jersey shore.

I don't know, but having grown accustomed to the smooth semi-auto operation the M4S90, I'm no longer interested in pump action SG's. These new bullpup SG's could be semis, but I'm guessing cost-control was a factor in that regard. Make it a semi & I'd be all over it.
