Girsan MC312

So today I was tire kicking at the local pawnshop and they had a brand new, Girsan MC312 HD semi auto 12g. I put it layaway as it was the last one on the shelf and i have been needing an additional HD shotgun. Has anyone shot one themselves? Buds videos look pretty convincing but I was wondering if anyone had any real experience with them.

Anyone?

before the cov-19 hit i was looking at them, grice gunshop had them on sale for 359.00 and iu was going to go up and get one. but the cov-19 closed them up. if they work as adversized they may be a good deal,

It was 399 so I jumped on it. The action is butter smooth. Some reviews have called it a poor mans benelli m4.

Haven’t held, shot or ever seen one. The only thing I can say is Girsan makes a decent 1911, especially for the money and and I haven’t heard anything bad about their shotguns.

It is like this one but this particular one does not have the rear sight

 

[cdb1]

Are you saying the one you have in lay-away has a rear iron sight and the one in the photo you posted doesn’t?

 

[Blnt4rcetrauma]

The one i have in lay away has no sight but a picatinny rail. And the raised front sight

 

[cdb1]

Being that it has a picatinny rail it should be pretty easy to install a rear sight.

 

[Blnt4rcetrauma]

That’s what I’m thinking. I just called to make sure no one lost it or it’s not in someone’s pocket but apparently that’s how it shipped. Either way I can’t wait to bring it home next week

the one i wanted was a field-hunting grade with a vent rib with beads-choke tubes. i looked at one at the sportsman show held in harrisburg pa, but could not buy it as it was a display model. they said they are going to make a 20 ga too.

 

[Blnt4rcetrauma]

So I couldn’t wait took the money out the savings and bit the bullet so to speak I can’t wait to shoot it

 

[cdb1]

Looks like a picatinny was machined into the top of the receiver, is that correct? The picatinny isn’t a separate piece fastened to the receiver with screws?

 

[Blnt4rcetrauma]

Yes that is correct, it is machined Into the receiver

Cool beans.
