I am sure there are safeguards against it but it would seem easy to have that action just partially rotated, which would seem a liability. And the connection between barrel and receiver looks sort of fragile, but I imagine it is just fine. It certainly is interesting. I still don't see why it is so expensive, however. What's the going price on a CSMC?

Sorta depends on which CSMC gun you are talking about.
I didnt get to fire the gun. Getting it unlocked is a two handed affair, and it is perfectly obvious if it is out of battery.
Best,
Ted

I suppose it does.
Anyway, it is cool. I would definitely shoot it. I would even hunt with it, but I would not want to pay for it.

Brent's comment about a fragile barrel to receiver joint (when open) has always been my feeling. However, I haven't spent much time with them either. I assume it is very strong, open or closed. I want one, especially the Vierling version.

I have not handled a Hoenig, but Ivano Tanfoglio who makes the Ferlib best quality shotguns handled one, and he told me it is a superb gun. I believe him.

That 28 looks about as big as one can go without making it a very wide action. Is there a 12 gauge version and what does it look like?

The one example I handled was 20 gauge. Serial number was in the 20s, IIRC.

The 20 doesn't look so svelte, but still manageable. Interesting guns for certain.
