Title: New (to me) Shotty
Post by: Hazcat on October 20, 2010, 12:46:07 PM: Didn't really 'need' it and can't really afford to spend any on guns right now BUT....

I couldn't resist (damn good price)

Mossberg 500A 'Police Edition" 12 ga pre '68

It IS after all, a pre-68. ROFL. ;D
Seriously, nice gun. I've kind of gotten sold on the tupperware for SD, but there is something solid and reassuring about a good solid wood butt stock.

I thought the bolt was really cool with the 'dragon scales'. Cleaned up pretty well.
The toe has been here for 17 years (Haz Jr) ;)

I guess they thought 5 will do (or 5 + 1). But it is stamped "Police Gun" right on the barrel.

Don't tell deepwater,...he's sensitive,.... ::)

No bells and whistles necessary for that one...

Title: Re: New (to me) Shotty
Post by: tombogan03884 on October 21, 2010, 01:58:00 AM: Is the Barrel 18.5 inches or 20 ?
Think about the Knoxx recoil absorbing stock. I like the wood stocks myself but the Knoxx gives you an adjustable length of pull with the M-4 style collapsible stock.
And it only fits Mossberg 500 or Rem 870 ;D

Post by: sledgemeister on October 21, 2010, 09:52:52 AM: Ahhh nothing says Sit Down and STFU like a scatter gun, good for all occasions, weddings, daughters boyfriends and the occasional scumbag home invader, of course it may be used in the persuit of busting clay type flying things as well but not as satisfying as the first three mentioned.
I am a little bit unsure which is the more threatening sound the racking of a pump or the double click of hammers, which ever it is I wouldnt like being on the recieving end of either sound or 32 grams of 00 buckshot.
