Yes, I have had a Hastings Paradox Barrel on a BRN A-5 12ga for
a few years. With Win. BRI Sabots @ 150yds, I can bust a 4"Flood
Lamp bulb.

You have to watch out for Remington's first generationSolids.
Hastings has a Warning on the Internet, look it up!
It was Remington that had a problem with thier first generation
batch of Solids. Hastings was just warningpeople that were useing them in
thier barrels. I contacted Remington and they gave me the 1st generation
numbers. If I can find them I will post them.


We have observed that some of Hastings' replacement barrels have been damaged when customers used pre-1999 Remington Copper Soilid Sabot Ammunition with the specifications below:
