Isn't the Maxus a gas operated shotgun?
The gas piston and sleeve weighs very little is directly under and aft of my hand when I grip the forearm. I find the SBEII to feel heavier forward of my hand when gripping the forearm ( hence “barrel heavy”).But hey, your mileage may vary.I’m not trashing the SBEII, they are both great guns. Swing them both and see what you think.
CP, I'm not sticking up for the SBEII just because I have one but I don't believe there's a gas operated shotgun out there that is lighter in the front half than an SBEII. The SBE has nothing at all under the forearm except the shells you load in the magazine. Any gas operated shotgun would have those same shells plus any and all gas system parts under the forearm. I'm sure the Maxus is a great gun though.
