Semi-Auto Shotgun - tube in stock

View · by **minnesotatv** on Tue Jan 21, 2014 9:04 am

Many modern semi-auto shotguns have some type of tube
extending off the rear of the receiver into the buttstock
(like the Rem 1100/1187 spring tube).

Are there any modern designs that don't have a tube, or
anything else extending into the buttstock?

Or any with a very short tube?

TIA

Benelli Vinci. Bolt carrier and recoil sping set up is all in the receiver. Give the butt stock a twist and it pops right off.

I know you said modern but plenty of old humpback A5s out there.

Current Mossberg semi-autos have a tube in the stock, the older model 9200 does not.
A-5 Brownings have a action spring in the stock.
