Dominion Arms Backpacker Review

[@MrCorvairGuy]

I picked up two of these when they were on for $99. The most common issues guys were reporting on CGN are the buttstock loosening off where it attaches to the receiver and the forend coming off during firing. The first problem is fixed by removing the recoil pad, taking out the long bolt, replace an equal thickness of washers with a lock washer and Loctite the threads. The second problem is fixed by applying Loctite to the three screws of the takedown latch and putting a few strips of hockey tape under the barrel to shim it up tight.

[@RS-vg5nz]

Thank you for this comment

[@nodresiak]

This is one area where Canada has us beat. I don't understand the logic behind making anything below 18 inch barrel illegal here in the States. Is a short barrel shotgun more deadly than say a Glock 9mm with an extended mag? Not really !

[@captsomeguy1]

+nodresiak It still needs an overall length of 26 inches. So even though you can have a 6.5 inch barrel, the rest of the shotgun including the barrel needs to be 19.5 inches. Doesn't the States have the serbu super shorty?

[@supremecaffeine2633]

Back in the 20s-40s

[@cevune]

+captsomeguy1 IIRC the serbu shorty is still held under the same classification as any other shotgun and is classified as a short-barreled shotgun. So you'd need to go through the entire background check+tax stamp headache with the BATFE in addition to living in a state that doesn't directly limit such a weapon with its local laws (for an easy example, here in California, it doesn't matter what federal hoops we jump through, the state laws themselves prohibit damn near anything so even with a full background check, tax stamp, and federal approval, we'd still be in violation of the law). I'm no lawyer though, so I could be mistaken to some degree, that's just my knowledge up to this point.

[@captsomeguy1]

cevune I see. Quite the ordeal US folks have to go through for one gun.

[@nodresiak]

captsomeguy1 This is one of the main reasons Americans are so pissed off this election season. We have to deal with stupid shit like laws that make a short barreled single shot shotgun hard to get but a guy can go out and buy a Glock 19 and a 30 round magazine with ten minutes of paperwork and no fees. I don't know about you but I fear 30 rounds of 9mm more than a single shotgun blast. Then there is the war on the middle class that Obamacare has ushered in. The average American is paying at least double what we used to in health insurance premiums and we now have deductibles that are twice as high. All this is to pay for healthcare for trailer park and ghetto losers who don't want to work. I really hate the Republican and Democratic parties right now. Whether it is Hillary or Donald we all get screwed in November elections. A choice between two amoral assholes.

[@theticketkiller]

I'm annoyed that handguns are restricted but you can own a shotgun up to 9"...

[@kentuckyjustice1408]

That reminds me of an H&R shotgun, but not as tightly spec'd. I have a single shot, cut off to 18 1/4 inches at the barrel (would go shorter, but have to please the ole ATF) and re-staked the bead sight. The bead sight was a whimsical move, but it makes it look "factory". Great snake gun for the woods. I gave $40.00 for it in less than prime condition, refinished it myself, and have been offered WAY more than what I have in it. Everyone ought to have one or two.

[@DOGMA1138]

whats up with the cafeteria lunch lady gloves? I was going to ask if you have a matching hairnet but 6:20 kinda answered that...

[@Huntinggearguy]

+DOGMA1138 Disassemble a nasty SKS full of cosmoline. The old stuff is a bit stiff, the 50's+ stuff runs. Having some gloves on to disassemble and clean is handy.

[@fredweller1086]

I bought an old Savage-Stevens from my local pawn shop for the same price. Sawed the barrel down to 18" and reduced the stock length. A bit longer than that Dominion shotgun, but alot better made and more useful.

[@Francois_Dupont]

i think the minimum legal when chopping is 18.5inch.

[@LEECHESANDCREAM]

I bought one of the long barrel 16 gauge ones. I put 14 rounds through it and the stock broke. I taped it up then the cross bolt safety came out. Then when I went to cock it again, then the hammer made one extra click too many and went slack. This was my first bad experience with any Chinese made firearm, and I'm glad I didn't spend more than 100 dollars on it. It's a wallhanger now, and I learned my lesson about sub-$200 Chinese guns. I hear the Turkish shotguns are of good quality for the price, so when I have the spare money I will likely buy one of the Turkish single shots with interchangeable chokes, and ejectors and such. All in all I'm glad yours did fine and you're having fun but this gun for me is a headache and an $80 decoration.

[@joeyg.kossaify4724]

Turkish firearms are good and we reasonable prices, very reasonable prices, but you got to be very careful while picking one, I advise with two Turkish brands, either "ATTA" or "Stevens", or you can go for Russian made rifles, very strong and durable material and a very good quality for a very reasonable price. I myself own a 0.410 cal over under Stevens shotgun, and a 12 gauge single shot "bikal" 12*76, Russian made, for like 150$, and trust me, I do hunt hoags with it, and I use slug shots. trust me when I tell you, very durable material, but it kicks like a mule.

[@trishooty4513]

It really depends on the arsenal. Some Chinese manufacturers make shoddy firearms what break after several rounds, others make firearms so robust they'll last forever.

[@justindunlap1235]

Honestly for 80 bucks that's about what I'd expect.

[@mmatt]

Looks like a fun little gun. :-) I've always had a soft spot for single shot shotguns, especially with short barrels.

[@JimBeamFiend53]

God damn it! Canada actually has something cooler than us!

[@jakeandlori23]

Hahah that made me gut laugh 🤣

[@olechuga2]

The weapon was $100.00, how much was it for the gallon of oil?

[@diggerdanielg752]

I would watch that pin that the barrel breaks down on. It may loosen in the receiver. The gun looks like it would take 4-10 recoil but for 12 gauge I think it's light construction.

[@Subgunman]

Brownells sold some shotgun front sight ramps for cheap that you could solder to the end of the barrel and then add a Meprolight tritium front sight. Might have to compensate a bit for elevation but you won't shoot off the front sight especially with a little Locktite added to the screw base of the front sight.

[@yankeeredneck7229]

Put some really thin felt tape at the rampart in the front of the receiver and where the foreign Clips together

[@Huntinggearguy]

It won't win any beauty contests, but damn it's fun to shoot. Article: www.huntinggearguy.com/shotgun-reviews/dominion-arms-backpacker-12-gauge-review/ Video: Dominion Arms Backpacker Review

[@ajtaylor560]

For a 'back' up gun it seems appropriate. How did it shoot did you do any paper test with it? A load of buckshot.puts 7 to 9 .33 cal balls into a beast, if you get a chance would be nice to see some of that material.

[@Huntinggearguy]

A J Taylor I'd like to try it with buckshot and slugs from 25 yards and see if there's usable accuracy. Will report back!

[@mohamedfaroukbalouli7809]

The Hunting Gear Guy actually it's good looking , do you ship these things to algeria ( north africa )

[@Huntinggearguy]

mohamed farouk I don't sell shotguns, but you could check with Canada Ammo.

[@mohamedfaroukbalouli7809]

thanks

[@Trueshotfirearms]

You can tighten it up by shimming the hook at the swing point then if needed do some fine file work on the barrel end to reset, so it swings shut tight to the body. this seems hard to do but if you take your time and pay close attention to the details of the work it goes very smooth and very easy. Just take your time and keep trying to close it after taking a few thousandth at a time off.

[@RyeOnHam]

My wife kept giggling every time you said "buttpad".

[@rocky7983]

Just wondering if you could install a spring onto the ejector to spit out the round once it's expensed.

[@TBullCajunbreadmaker]

I know huh! I have an old H&R 20 guage that I did this to and when I open the breech the shee 'pops' right out every time. I can re-load very quickly. Put 3 rounds in between my fingers and it shoots pretty fast. I love it for shooting waxers or homeade rounds. It's a lot of fun.

[@randallkelley3599]

Are you in Canada, can one possess a short barrel shot gun there?

[@tomjeffersonwasright2288]

For those who have seen a box opened before, just go to 6:00. That thing has far more weight and legal complications than any backpacker wants to have.

[@soufianerajawi7428]

top jackson

[@gokuss15]

tom jackson no legal restrictions in Canada, non-semiauto shotguns don't have length requirements there, but for some reason they can't have handguns.

[@Al-sg7kr]

There are more countries in the world than just the USA, actually

[@Loganthered1]

for a little bit more money you can get a H&R with better fit and a shell ejector.

[@feellnfroggy]

For Backpacking, I think I might cut the stock down a little too.

[@archangel20031]

So, that can be purchased over the counter in Canada?

[@scottboyd785]

archangel20031 Yep!

[@TBullCajunbreadmaker]

I just watched a video of a guy that paid $400 for a shotgun then sent in and waited for 6mos. to get a 200 dollar permit in order to make his own shortbarreled shotgun. And you paid how much for that thing already done?

[@colsoncustoms8994]

I think this guy is in Canada

[@BullseyeNevada5164]

You could have bought a cheap used single barrel and had the thing chopped and the sight put back on!!! How much did you pay for your toy? Not as much as I did AND I refinished it myself!

[@moorshound3243]

So basically a cut down cooey 12 bore single barreled shotgun? nice wish we could have those over here!

[@ArtilleryJoe]

That's an18"? Looks shorter lol. Nice though where can I get one? Love it so far?

[@latemetal1]

Any restrictions on a barrel that short?, is that gun Canada only? I'm in the USA and I think I'd have to do some paperwork for that gun.

[@Skiimin501]

In Canada, you can have shorter barrels as long as thats the manufactured length, as some shot guns like the Dominion Arms Grizzly have a barrel length of 8.5 inches, and you only need a non-restricted license

[@latemetal1]

+Eldon Schiemann Thank you.

[@gasman7320]

Dumb question I'm sure, but why was it coated in oil?

[@djpd6499]

Stop it from rusting

[@vulcan1753]

Cool shotgun. Not legal in the U.S., at least not without paying the NFA $200 for a special permit. Back when I was 16 (40 years ago) I had an Ithaca single shot 12 gauge that I cut the barrel off on, about the same length as yours. Where I lived at the time you could get away with it, as everybody was doing the same thing, hunting without a license, out of season, jacklighting deer, even making homemade whiskey.

[@jordanlittle5391]

is this a non restricted firearm in canada

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

Is this still considered a NFA firearm (SBS) in Canada?

[@Huntinggearguy]

Hans S. Nope, fully non restricted. One of our few options for a compact firearm to take on hikes in the back country.

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

The Hunting Gear Guy But a handgun would be considered highly restricted, correct? It's insane how these things are legislated on. I would have to go through several months of waiting, pay a $300 tax, and get law enforcement approval, just to be given permission to buy one of these. But I can drive down the road and buy a Glock 17, a AK-47 with a 75 round drum magazine and 5,000 rounds of ammo, and be out the door with it in 15 minutes.

[@Huntinggearguy]

Hans S. Yep, handguns can only go to the range and back, but I could mail order one of these backpackers to my front step.

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

The Hunting Gear Guy Unless you are a licensed FFL, that was banned sometime in the mid 1940's here. Ammo and mags all you want, but no firearms. Unless they are black powder. I can get a Colt Navy .44 cal. revolver shipped right to me.

[@TheAlexagius]

Hans S. In the usa the shipping of firearms to your door was banned in 1968 with the 68 GCA, mail ordering of non nfa items (like at rifles) was very common, i think even the sears catalog stocked lots of guns. Although with a C&R you can get C&R guns that are non nfa shipped to your door. Of course you can also get 80% receivers shipped and finish them at home.

[@pappy451]

i love it. can't have it here in the land of the quasi free , or would that be pseudo free ? i'm so confuzzled .

[@snwsk8]

14" barrel adaptation on select offerings of mossberg 590a1

[@allissonharris5706]

In your unboxing video you stated that you would carry this when you bow hunt for deer ,with slugs in it.for bears in your area. I don't know what state your in but I would check the regulations in your state , I don't think you can carry that with slugs , maybe birdshot.

[@TheScoundrel70]

Allisson Harris, the federal and provincial laws in Canada are quite different than most states.

[@allissonharris5706]

Sean Lewis I'am sorry I thought you were in the states , Canada has different laws but dude that is a sweet gun

[@TheScoundrel70]

Allisson Harris no worries! I have the Dominion Arms Outlaw, which is a side by side with barrels just as short. No rattling or figment issues after several boxes of 3" turkey loads. Not something that I would choose as a first pick for hunting, but crazy fun to shoot, and easy to pack along when canoe camping, or in winter when pulling a pulk or sled. 12ga flares and bear bangers launch very well from it. Certainly capable if you find yourself in a needful situation and the extra shot/barrel is nice to have.

[@gurtbrettfrobe4678]

anyone have issues with the action release lever being SUPER STIFF? like unable to release the action with thumb alone.

Get a clip on trueglo got a green one it sucks go orange. Spring growth is the same color green. love this video

[@jakejuergens]

Is that legal? Looks like i could fit in a duffel easy, got a 18.5" pump without a folding pistol grip shit will not fit.

[@codythomas6541]

Legal in Canada,

[@justsomerandomguynamedsam3657]

To me its harkening back to the blunderbuss, I guess it has to do with the barrel

[@deathangellink]

what would be the pro and con of that gun over the outlaw as a backpack gun ?

[@Huntinggearguy]

This one is lighter and cheaper, but definitely more cheaply constructed. It could be broken down to fit into a backpack pretty quick.

[@8digitPDX]

Seems like that thing ought to be working with rifle caliber inserts, otherwise, not real useful.

[@neegancommoner1963]

Great for bear hunters as we can't carry our handguns. Thanks liberals !!!

Wish I could own one but they are a class 3 firearm here in the US equal to a swan off shotgun.

[@ehonda4208]

How can you have that without a tax stamp?

[@ehonda4208]

Canada?

[@fadedjate7230]

Is that an NFA item?

[@GeorgeLifterMann]

If these have a big widly open single barrel can they take a grenade?

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

Epic Yolo Guy no. Firearms that can fire a grenade will have a attachment base on the muzzle. The gun is loaded with a special blank round and the grenade is clipped on the end. Though it's all a moot point. Only way you're gonna get your hands on those is in the military.

[@GeorgeLifterMann]

Hans S. Oh godammit i thought you could buy one! Looks cool though...

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

Epic Yolo Guy Well you can get the base/attachment, just not the grenades, obviously. I have a old Vietnam era Yugo SKS that has a big ol' grenade mount on it and flip up launching sights. Cool to look at.

[@GeorgeLifterMann]

Hans S. Wow badass! :D

[@cevune]

+Hans “Hanzy4200” S. I mean that's true, but I thought the post was asking about a 40mm, comparing the break barrel breech loaded action of this weapon to that of the M79. +MyNameIsJeff Which still, while they're similar to a degree, and anything can be done with enough smarts/money/desire, it wouldn't really be anywhere near practical to try and engineer this kind of firearm to fire a 40mm. You'd basically have to rebuild the whole thing all over again if that was your goal. Like the barrel, the receiver, the firing mechanism, everything would have to be replaced. you maybe, MAYBE could reuse the wood furniture. It just wouldn't be worth it, if that was your idea. Also, legality on that kind of thing varies pretty wildly based on where you are (up to this point, this video seems to have drawn equal parts Canadian and US viewership, so even between just those two countries, the legality of launched grenades is just... worlds apart. If you are a US individual, you also need to worry about local laws) Suffice to say that from a US perspective, yes there are ways to get a 40mm launcher and there are ways to get ammunition* for it, but that they are tenuous as all hell and all involve the BATFE, and for the most part are nowhere near worth the trouble unless you've got a virtually mortal need to shoot off a 40mm. At the time of writing, I know that there are niche markets for leisure 40mm shooting, and I know that the ammunition of choice was the biodegradable chalk training round. I also know that the ATF recently added 40mm chalk rounds and 40mm tracer rounds to their definition of prohibited ammunition, so.... If you're really, and I mean very interested in shooting a 40mm there are 3 steps: 1) have a shitload of money 2) hire a lawyer who specializes in this kind of thing 3) be prepared to fail.

[@davidguymon1673]

What is the length of it? It almost looks like an SBR. Do you need a Class 3 for it?

[@vaquerojustice]

[@davidguymon1673]

What about the U.S.?

[@davidguymon1673]

So, this would be an NFA rifle in the U.S. then?

Barrel length?

[@rustybooty8978]

Is it legal to change the stock into a pistol grip?

[@Huntinggearguy]

+Rusty Shackleford I'm not totally sure because it's not something I've done. This article might help: nfa.ca/resource-items/barrel-and-firearms-lengths

[@Pointblank2U]

Yes, short-barreled shotguns have a certain cool factor, but they really don't have any good points except for concealability. The barrel length does not effect pattern spread. (see Remington website) You get more muzzle blast and less velocity. 18.5" is plenty short enough and you can get a Mosserg Maverick for around $200 on sale. No tax stamp needed.

[@TheVekose]

The Hunting Gear Guy Suggestion for the front site, get a metal BB and sauter onto the hole where the original was, should work for the purposes of a site.

[@nednl788]

Thats a nice gun , and only 100 bucks , nice.

[@rajendraramoutar9999]

Thats a proper shot gun wish I had one.

[@mechalens]

I paid $80 us for a rossi 20 gauge brand new at a Sports Authority. Way better fit and finish. Has actual ejector not just extractor, has no wiggle, breaks down very much the same way except it is one screw that doubles as a sling mount and is hand tightened not a flimsy hinge, and it also has sights that haven't flown off after a lot of shooting. If your going for cheap go Brazilian not Chinese firearms. Older more expensive Chinese firearms are probably fine, my sks is Chinese and it functions great. You can even get the 12 for around $100 or so. Maybe $120, $150 at the most.

[@What_Fred_Said]

Where can I get one?

[@tonyinfinity]

Why wouldn't that have a pistol grip on it? Having a short 13" barrel, and it's supposed to be a "backpack" shotgun seems silly to have a full stock on it.

[@FeldwebelWolfenstool]

...ever shot a 12 ga. with a pistol grip? Not pleasant. Try hunting with one. Useless.

[@tonyinfinity]

FeldwebelWolfenstool Yes I shoot my Mossberg with a pistol grip. I wouldn't use a 13" barreled shotgun hunting, and I wouldn't use my Mossberg hunting either. The point of this shotgun is lack of size, hence the "backpacker" title, it's made to be non-cumbersome and serve as bear defense. So you wouldn't be hunting with it and most likely wouldn't shoot it very often other than getting familiar with it and if you ran across a bear. So a pistol grip would be a plus for me

[@SonicPhenomena]

because that would look fucking stupid

[@tonyinfinity]

James O You don't buy this gun for looks, stupid. Or any gun for that matter, that is the dumbest comment i think I've read on youtube. Congrats dummy

[@pappy451]

[@danielsmith5023]

Not a bad video , I would watch you again

[@grumpyoldfart7302]

Does anyone make a legal shotgun pistol, 12 gauge to shoot flares. A plastic flare pistol only shoots them about 100 feet high. When I shoot them from my shotgun, they go up there 10 times higher. I could also load some light loads of #8 shot for snakes, that wouldn't break my wrist. I don't want to keep an expensive gun on a boat especially in salt water.

[@charliebrown4007]

were can i buy one and are thay legal in the usa

[@Huntinggearguy]

+Tim Bolt I think this would qualify as a short barrel shotgun in the US, so there are some extra regulations/paperwork/tax stamp around them. I'm not sure if Norinco shotguns are readily available there due to the ban. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norinco#Trade_disputes_with_the_United_States

[@brianspruill5424]

$100.00 or not, it should at least have an extractor that works.

[@garethh6962]

It does work not all shotguns send shells out flying into the air, I prefer this type of extractor for reloading purposes and your not chasing about after empty cartridges the extractor works fine...

[@reignick1133]

You're thinking of a shell ejector , those as a rule generally only come on much more expensive sporting break action shotguns . Most cheaper single shots really only come with a much simpler to manufacture ( and surprisingly more robust) extractor assembly .

It should have an ejector even at it's price point

[@geraldscott7441]

I like the idea, but the quality is not acceptable to me. But that is pretty much standard for anything from China. I like my guns to be better quality. It may be $100 in Canada, but it's an SBS in the U.S. so it's actually $300. And I actually prefer an 18.5" barrel. I don't see a barrel that short being any good except for short range defense, and you only get one shot.

[@jamesranger6283]

So you dont expect it to be very good, very smooth, very well finished very tight. You expect it to be a little wricketty , the sight to fall out and to be a little shady. AAAAAND you dont expect it to blow up in your face? I have held these things and they are total crap. The fact that you can buy this at all is amazing Personally I feel this thing should not be approved for sale in Canada. What I expect from this firearm is they will blow apart before they wear out.

I've got some of those, but maybe I'm too cheap because I didn't want to "waste" them just sopping up extra oil.

A sweet little gun, but I have never seen one shot stop a determined Bear.

[@davidnichols7485]

I got an old Hiawatha 12 g single I cut to 19 inch barrel pretty much same thing shoot chickens all the time

A shotgun with TWO barrels wouldn't take up significantly more room in your backpack, and neither would barrels as long as the stock, and you could actually hit something at a useful distance. PLUS, if you had it out and say a bear were to attack you, that extra shot would be nice, wouldn't it?

[@reluctantheist5224]

How much more would a 2 barrel be?

[@TugboatMatt]

One of the dumbest comments I've ever read.

I would chop the stock down to a pistol grip for backpacking. I could see it being a fun toy though like you said.

[@tomjones1967]
