Used Police turnins are the best deal in town if they can be found. Usually dinged badly on the outside, most are near new inside and work well.

Two of mine started as agency turnins. One's a full house "Serious" shotgun with peep sight, extended mag,etc, the other's my anything flying shotgun. Neither cost very much, I bought judiciously and put them together a little at a time. Sounds like what you want to do.

Barring that, IMO the Turkey Express 870 with its short bbl approaches optimum versatility at low cost.

Good news, it's a Win-Win situation. They're all good.
