Ghost loading, I'm lost here.

Quoted:
A method of getting an extra shell into a semi-auto shotgun. It's done by putting a shell onto the shell elevator. I hate the term since it sounds so melodramatic and video game-based, but it means a shotgun can become mag capacity+1+1 rather than just mag capacity+1. A shell in the chamber, another shell waiting on the lifter in the space below the closed bolt, then a full mag tube. |

You can sort of do the same thing with an 1100/11-87 by fully loading the mag then pushing the last shell into the mag a little bit while opening the action so the shell will be held in the mag. Then once the carrier is locked back, hold the bolt and press the bolt release then slowly close the bolt just until the shell lifter lifts. Then pull the bolt back just enough to load shells in the gun but not enough to lock the bolt open or you need to start over. Then you put one shell in the chamber and one shell on the lifter and close the bolt. While closing the bolt you need to push up on the shell lifter just slightly to guide the bottom shell part way into the magazine.
The gun functions perfectly with full power shells like buckshot or slugs and works pretty good with bird shot loaded like this. ETA: You can do the same with an 870 as long as it has the flexi-tab conversion or came setup that way which all modern 870's are but I wouldn't do it because it makes it much harder to pump for the first shot. |
