Is it time for shotgun show and tell again?

kraigster414 · July 16, 2005, 01:00 PM

Here's mine. Remington 870 Police with a little added protection - a Springfield Armory XD40. Love both.

Let's see what you got!

And a Winchester 1300 Defender

azspyder · July 16, 2005, 02:18 PM

Lets see if this works...
Remington 870
Kimber Ultra Compact

kraigster414 · July 16, 2005, 02:45 PM

And I'll raise you one!

Is that a stockshok on your gun? How do you like it. I am waiting for the Knoxx SpecOps to come out. I am torn between which one to get (still).

My Winchester Police Stainless model. It has a Bushnell Halosight and yes,,,,a laser. After 6 shoulder surgeries I can't mount it properly too many times so this allows me to shoot from the hip. The Kickeez recoil pad helps too. Vang Comp Systems backbored and ported the barrel.

A nice weapon.

azspyder · July 16, 2005, 04:24 PM

Yep, Kraigster, that's a StockShox. I really like it tho" I haven't tried or even seen the Knoxx unit. It certainly tamed the recoil! No complaints out of my surgically repaired shoulder. Here's a pic of it.

Delzo, that's a great looking Winchester!

ShottyTim · July 16, 2005, 05:00 PM

Rem 870 HD and SIG SP 2340

SR420 · July 16, 2005, 05:25 PM

1993 HK/Benelli M1 Super 90 with a little added protection.
Factory ghost ring combat sights and pistol grip stock

kraigster414 · July 16, 2005, 10:37 PM

"Stockshox" - sorry for the mispelling. The Knox SpecOps is expected to hit the streets next month.

The only thing I am not too thrilled about on my Rem 870P pictured above is the flashlight mount. I am always afraid of overtightening and leaving marks on the extension. I have since ordered an LMT flashlight mount that is supposed to be an improvement over the typical ext tube mount. For those interested.

http://www.litemounttech.com/shotguns.htm

By the way, on the Rem 870 Police I have an XS Sight System installed (Big Dot Express set) - front and rear that is a snap to pick up in low light. Highly recommend. Other items of interest on the 870P - Tac Star 2000 flash light and coiled pressure pad, Wilson mag extension (the best on the market IMHO), Bungee cord sling, left hand safety conversion (tricky, involved and expensive), Mesa Tactical shell holder right side mount for lefties, Hogue 12 in. LOP stock and forend. Pending is a Knoxx SpecOps stock.

My Win 1300 pictured in the opening post has ghost ring combat sights (MMC) which I originally wanted on my Rem 870P but could not find when I was hunting for a new 870P. Now that I've used the XS sight system, I prefer the XS to the ghost rings. The XS sight is easy to "pick up," great in low light, and provides precision accuracy with slugs. The best of all possible worlds in my opinion.

SR, that's one heck of a setup you got there.

Delzo, I like yours too. I want to see more samples!!

115grfmj · July 16, 2005, 11:41 PM

Then again a weapon cant be tactical, it has no tactics of its own. Only
the operator can employ tactics, in which case this might sufice.

870 express Magnum 12 Ga Walnut stocks, and 21" vent rib turkey barrel
IC remchoke.

mtnboomer · July 17, 2005, 12:10 AM

Nothin' fancy, just a Springfield 67 with lamanated stocks...'tis a work in progress.

Third_Rail · July 17, 2005, 01:19 AM

Just my stock pre-1968 (no SN) Mossberg 500a.

PJR · July 17, 2005, 07:54 AM

My Remington 870P with one-shot extended mag.

VirgilCaine · July 17, 2005, 08:48 AM

Here's my modest collection. Mostly bird guns.
From left to right: Winchester 1200 Defender, Remington 1100 .12, Remington 1100 Lt .20, Winchester '97, Winchester Model 37 .410, His & Hers Mossberg 500's in .20, and a Western Auto Revelation in .12.

And of course, if I ever take out a shotgun, my German Shorthair, Daisy, will be close by. She seems a bit bummed I'm not loading up and heading outside.

GunsnRovers · July 17, 2005, 09:08 AM

From oldest to youngest

1930's Winchester 1897

1940 Stevens 620A

1950 1st Year Remington 870 Wingmaster

1970's Ithaca 37 DSPS LAPD varient (no disconnector and fixed rifle sights)

And my newest creation for our house gun, a late 1970's Remington 870 Wingmaster ex-Sacramento PD refinished, Hogue short LOP stock, tritium front bead, picatinny rail forearm, and LaRue Battlelight.

azspyder · July 17, 2005, 10:07 AM

Kraigster...you'll like the LMT mount. Perfect fit with no crimping of the magazine.

kraigster414 · July 17, 2005, 10:11 AM

I think so to. I spoke to the folks at the company yesterday on the phone. Very nice. Thanks for the heads-up.

delzo · July 17, 2005, 01:23 PM

A couple more closer shots. The laser I stalled was meant to be a trigger-guard mount so I drilled through the tube cap and installed it easily. The laser body is canted a bit so the push switch can be accessed easier from either side.

The Butler Creek folding stock had to be modified some. Too many shoulder repairs so the rangemaster finally convinced me to shoot it properly,,,the tactical hold. The buttstock is held against your chest, just above your nipple, so you are constantly looking down the barrel, straight away. I couldn't bend my head down enough to use the halosight in that position, so I cut the stock and re-welded so it raised the weapon up where I looked through it easily, without ducking my head.
