Girsan MC312 HDT Heavy Duty Tactical 12 Gauge Blue/Black Shotgun

A: Yes, Buds has it listed as approved to CA here: https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1153_1858&filter_id=1189

A: It would not be velocity so much as payload It should be fine with any standard 1 1/8 oz 12 ga load the 1 Oz loads may not generate high enough pressures to cycle the action velocity in shotshell is expressed as drams equivalent or DE I would start with a 1 1/8 OZ 3 DE load and see if it functioned If that works drop down to a 1 1/8 2.75 DE and check it https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/656_2081_10000533/products_id/712002395/Winchester%20SUPER%20TARGET%2012GA%20HV%20#7.5 3DR 1 1/8OZ 25/10/

A: I honestly don't think you will run into much issue Caleb. There are plenty of you tube video's with everything from slugs, buckshot and low brass birds hot and even the low brass cycled good. For peace of mind, all the major ammunition makers make high velocity bird shot loads in all common shot sizes. They are usually listed as Hi-Vel shot shells.

A: Tom, included are a Breacher Choke and Cylinder Choke.

A: Hi Tom, This Includes a Breacher Choke and Cylinder Choke Sir

A: Fred, this is threaded for the Beretta/Benelli Mobilchoke system so any chokes meant for that pattern should work fine.

A: Fred, the Girsan is compatible with 12ga Benelli/Beretta Mobile Classic Chokes. You can use this "Compatibility Chart" here : https://www.patternmaster.com/products/1001_12ga_Benelli_Beretta_Mobile_Classic

A: the standard MC312 uses the beretta chokes however I think the HDT uses different chokes But I have not been able to find that answer so I suggest that you contact EAA who is the Girsan importer to get a accurate answer Customer Service Hours 8:30am – 3:30pm EST (321) 639-4842 tel (321) 639-7006 fax or link https://eaacorp.com/contact?form=1

A: Benelli Supernova extensions should work with some minor modification. Don't know of any extensions made specifically for this gun though.

A: Christopher, the 2nd reviewer here used this Carlson's Benelli Nova/Super Nova - 7-Shot Magazine Extension. He had to remove a quarter inch of tube length but it worked great (picture with it installed also) : https://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Carlson-s-Benelli-Nova-Super-Nova-7-Shot-04502-p/car-04502.htm

A: Just my opinion but if you are going to use the gun a lot go with a know brand like benelli, beretta ,mossberg or remington where you can get the correct aftermarket parts and have support 5-10 years down the road when you need replacement parts. I have a shotgun in my safe that I have been looking for a replacement for a bad magazine tube and I have not been able to get one in 4 years now By the way it is a S&W shotgun that was made in the 1980s
