New Bird Gun


Spurshot

Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm still fascinated by the small size of this gun. The grip is also thin. I suppose that could be a liability too.

Here's some pix of it along side one of my NID 410s, flanked on the other side by my Fox AE 12ga for perspective.

BTW, for your camera guys, these are all flash pix taken with a single flash mounted to the camera.

Very nice gun spurshot. I too love sub gauge SxS shotguns. I shoot my 28ga almost exclusively now days. I've always wanted a .410 but now that we are going to all non tox shot in CA I've decided a 20ga will be better for me. I'm looking to get a new Dickinson before next season.

Agreed. The non-tox is a deal killer for 410. A 28ga could be a good one with some expensive shot. I have a Parker Reproduction in 28ga that I may someday load some Bismuth for. But my immediate plan is to shoot steel thru the ol' 20ga pump below. It's an old mid 30s Win M12 solid rib, choked punched out to .010"

The 28ga does pretty well with 5/8oz loads of steel 7s on quail, doves, and snipe but I do shoot bismuth at pheasants and chukar. I have a few boxes of AA's I need to shoot up and start loading my own. I also have a few 20ga I shoot but my 28 is the perfect bird gun for me.

Rumor on the doublegunshop forum is that steel shot thru a soft soldered double will loosen the ribs at the chokes. As I understand the issue, the barrel stretches slightly as the steel shot passes thru the choke and that eventually loosens the ribs. Ive thought about taking a sxs 20 and either boring the chokes to cylinder or putting cylinder screw-in Briley's in it.

Yeah, that's why I only shoot small steel (7s) through cyl/ IC chokes in my 28ga.

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
