#Burndown

We took Mossberg’s new 590RM — a mag-fed evolution of the legendary 590 — and ran it through a brutal 500-round burn-down at Thunder Ranch. With just one double-stack mag, a pile of mixed 12 gauge ammo, and a whole lot of pump-action abuse, we set out to answer one question: Does the detachable magazine help or hurt this shotgun’s rock-solid reputation? Featuring Clint Smith, Hop, Ivan from Kit Badger, and the TFBTV crew, this is a no-BS reliability test. Spoiler: it gets ugly.

In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves finally listens to you and subjects his Benelli M4 to the patented TFBTV 500-round shotgun burndown. Many rightfully consider the Benelli M4 to be the best of the best in terms of combat shotguns, so when James runs into several issues with his – what happened? We find out in today’s video.

In this episode of TFBTV, JamesReeves reviews the cheapest shotgun he’s reviewed to date: The SDS Imports SLB X2 12 Gauge Pump. The SLB X2 is a Turkish pump action shotgun that costs only about $159-$180 online. Surely, a gun that’s this cheap can’t outlast the #TFBTV 500 round 12 gauge shotgun burndown torture test, right? Let’s see how it does on today’s episode.
