DMiculek Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 What's the thought on the early (all steel) Super X1's. IIRC they were the shotgun of choice in the early days of three-gun. I may be able to pick one up at a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC they were the shotgun of choice in the early days of three-gun.I may be able to pick one up at a fair price. I have one I like it. The only issue is the shell lifter is blocked by the bolt release until release is pressed. This can't be deactivated as the shell lifter works as part of the bolt hold open device. No tec loader plastic ears either. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.E. Kelley Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 They were because they worked! Very well built machine. Unfortunately the cost of production outweighed sales and it was dropped. I think Plaxco ran one for awhile. The only real drawback was the locked carrier. You had to push the carrier release button to load the mag tube. If you incorporated that action into your loading style it would work fine. I bet you will get a response or two from others more in the know. I will add the the SX1 has a good following in the Sporting Clays community. Buy it and try it, if you don't like it should be an easy sell. Good luck Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWLAZS Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I have one. I sent it to Nu Line guns. They replaced the gas system with a ss upgrade, ported the barrel, installed a choke and put a huge button on the carrier release. They also slicked up the trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 As has been posted, the only drawback is the carrier release must be depressed for loading. The only breakage I ever had with it, is the buffer located in the back of the reciever got brittle and broke. It's a great gun, just needs a little more loading practice.

Nu Line guns? I think it is a company called Wrights Gunsmithing, I found them on the internet.
