Want a pump 12, but which one? - Page 3

I was looking at the Mossberg web site yesterday and would like to know what the difference is between the Maverick and the M500?

Just the solid block of steel billet that the Model 12's receiver is milled from would cost hundreds today.

If receivers made of steel are important to you, the Remington Model 870, the Browning BPS and the Ithaca Model 37 are three shotguns that I'm aware of that are still constructed with steel receivers.

With its tang-mounted safety and bottom ejection, it would seem that the Browning BPS would be just about ideal for a southpaw's shotgun. I like mine a lot-even if I am a northpaw.

Tang safety - enough said.

Anothe vote for the Mossberg 500. Very configurable to many needs.

I like my Mossberg 500 and I like my Remington Wingmaster 870.

Flip a coin.

I've had an 870 Express, a Browning BPS, a Winchester 1300, and a Mossberg 500.

I still have the 500. It's all the gun I ever need.

I really love the 870, but for some - not me- the ergonomics do not work. I'd see what is the most intuitive for you.

Look at the latest ATF data showing 2011 production. The link is still floating around this thread.

I'd like to see that data - post a link if you can

It is actually very interesting. And it is surprising how many guns are being produced every year. Good to see!
