Zacharia

First, I should explain who (or what ) Zacharia is. The who, is an ancestor who made a habit of running British blockades during the years leading up to and following the War of 1812. He captained a merchant ship in his early 20's, fought off pirates both in the Caribbean, and in the Med, and managed to make a good living in the process.
The what, is the name I gave (to honor my ancestor) to the IWI TS-12 shotgun I've posted about recently.
So this is kinda a range report about how much fun it is to shoot this gun. Until today, I only shot it from the shoulder position. But being a curious guy I went out back and unloaded on my shootin' stump from what I'll call the hip, although it was more from level with my chest. Zach is more fun than an old Marine deserves - 5 rounds of 00 buck in about 3 seconds! Not very accurate of course, but WOOHOO! Recoil was barely noticeable!

As a side note, I'd been having a small issue with the screw in choke getting loose and backing out a little. It's flush fit and came with the gun. Put a tiny drop of blue loctite on the threads this morning and just came back in from shooting. I kinda thought the loctite would be effected by the heat, but it seems to have solved the problem. I'll be checking it periodically anyway for a while.
