A website has the Kel-tec KS7 for $395 - delivered.

Has anybody tried one?

I'm generally over my 'bullpup phase', but with this one using bottom eject and at 26.1" and 5.9# is it worth giving it a go?

I hated my KSG; too many short strokes for my comfort level even with experienced pump operators. Also didn't like the manual tube selection, which resulted in an empty chamber if you aren't counting, and generally some confusion over whether it was actually empty or just a short stroke.

Ahh, the KS7 should alleviate the mag tube switching problem.

I'm still leaning toward an 18" pump, overall length around 37", just wondered if the shortness was worth it.

I've got a Westernfield 620 that I was going to make into a trench gun replica, but I found a 1918ish Rem Model 10 that I think is better and more unique with a wood heat shield and bottom eject.

So, I might take the 620 down to 18", the cool thing about them is that they takedown into 2 pieces, with the barrel and mag tube ~18.5" and the buttstock and receiver ~18.5". Makes it pretty handy to travel with.

Good point on the mag tubes. I’ve come to like my Tac-14 with Suarez work a great deal, but it’s not nearly the value of the Kel-Tec.
