Saw a bunch of agency trade in S&W
3000 12 ga. pumps at the shop the other day for 169.00. Surface dings from in and out of the issue room, but shiny barrels and mechanically sound. What say you? Good deal?
Thanks.

Price only fair. Maintenance could get iffy. They were made by Howa, Mossberg bought the spare bits n pieces from S&W and continued making some of their own. Parts may be obtainable from Mossberg.

Also from Gunparts Corp, using parts for New Mossberg 3000.

MD Dept of Public Safety tried these out in their prisons. Lots of probs. I'd say pass on them...
