Shotguns

First shotgun question: Remington 870 or Mossberg 500?

Just using it for shooting w friends and fortress defense. I promise not to dick chaney anyone.

Mossberg--I love both of mine

I have a home defender Pistol grip and shorter barrel.

as well as what I call the sportsman special. All walnut and very nice to shoot.

What'd you pay? I see they are pretty cheap new, but what about used?

Years ago I had a Mossberg 590A1 (police & military issue) that was the biggest pile of steaming shit anyone could have owned. I couldn't get rid of it fast enough. Do a google search to find related issues with the Mossberg Model seriess 500 and you will see a lot of issues with this model over the years.


:up:

Thats really odd, Ive read really good reviews about the 590. Supposedly between the Remington and Mossberg, the Mossberg is the only one to pass military testing and was subsequently awarded the contract for Marines/Navy.

either or, you cant go wrong either way, I have shot both an I own a rem 870 just because I got it cheap.

If I were going to get a shotgun with the upcoming ban I would be looking at a Saiga 12. With up to a 30 round drum of 12 gauge goodness it will be one that will not pass the next ban. Sending this shotgun into a great investment opertunity. Then send it to Tromix for some custom work.

Saiga's are going for about $550 to $600 stock and the full Tromix custom will set you back about $1750 or so and 18 month back order! Picture of Tromix full custom SBS. http://www.tromix.com/saiga.htm

Yeah, the 590's are supposed to be crap. The 500 and the 870 are both great, reliable shotguns.

My home defense tool is an 18in. barreled 870 with #4 shot shells.

Whoa dude, straight outta Compton...

I j wanna spend a few hundo and go shoot, not take over an embassy.

[kroberts]

I dig that Siaga. I like the SAW grip. The folding stock reminds me of the HK UMP.

Vdub doesn't play when it comes to these toys...

Its all good. I like to go to the Bushmaster site and drool all over their sniper rifles and 50 cal shit.

If you havent seen it, I would definately encourage you to take a look. *edit* Is the Mossberg site ungodly slow for anyone else? Ive tried the last 2 days and it takes forever to load.

You can always be different and get a side by side 12ga Stoeger coach gun...

[Vedubin01]

you can get on youtube and find some good videos.

this video is a Class 3 weapon, meaning law enforcement or Class 3 dealer with a demo letter is able to obtain one in Full auto. Anyone can purchase the 20 round drum for their semi-auto Saiga!

Enjoy!

I would totally get a broken gun over a pump. Style points yo.

Pumps are a lot more practical though, and it's always satisfying to cycle the action.

And I can't stand synthetic stocks.
