Rotating locking lugs, cam pin, cam pin track and a carrier. Carrier rides in an aluminum receiver that saves weight while being plenty strong. Where else have we seen this design that scoffs at dirt, grime and debris?
I'm partial to 1300's due to the fact they survive duck hunting.
My duck hunting.
One minute a 1300 is an oar, the next it is a shovel dragging my ,somewhat concerned about my predicament, butt out of waste deep lake bottom mud then birds fly over and it's a shotgun.
Bolt design also allows for the "Speed Pump" function. Shooting my well worn 1300 Defender one handed with birdshot works the action back to just before ejection.
When using heavy loads, it'll eject on its own. Throw the pump back forward and you're ready for the next shot.
I has a 1300 defender about twenty years ago. I sold it. I hated the assisted ejection. My muscle memory messed things up because I'd go to eject the round but it was already gone. It probably looked hillarious. I'm an 870 guy. It the 599's have an awesome reputation and they have the best slide release and safety locations.
"Real men have always needed to know what time it is so they are at the airfield on time, pumping rounds into savages at the right time, etc. Being able to see such in the dark while light weights were comfy in bed without using a light required luminous material." -Originally Posted by ramairthree
