My Three Riot Guns

I'll play:

Remington 870
Ithaca 37
Winchester 1897

?

I'm least sure about the last because I can't see a hammer.

But those are three good and effective looking shotguns, that part I'm sure of

I make more interesting for readers. The first one is a pre-Mossberg 500 aka Remington Model 31 the second is post Remington Model 17 aka Ithaca 37 and the third is simplified (non-takedown) Winchester Model 1897.

I have sold my shotguns off. The only thing I have now is "short-barreled" (26") Imp. Cyl. Remington 1100 which doubles up as my HD gun. I use 1BK velocity near muzzle about 1225fps.

So, player 1's score: piss-poor!

Good looking shotguns.

Got to go with PabloJ's picks. First one is a Remington Model 31, forerunner to the Model 870. Second is an Ithaca Model 37 and the third one looks to be a Winchester Model 1897.

Very nice examples of great shotguns. All are keepers!

My old Winchester Mdl. 97 is not pretty but it is functional.

I've got an old Remington UMC model 11-R roit gun that is pretty clean. I don't remember the exact year of production date but it was from the late teens to the early 1920's.

All I see are three manstoppers.

I remember seeing bunch of guns similar to that ca. 2000. All were FN recoil automatics with extended magazine (long forend wood) that were imported from Zimbabwe (they were used when that country was called Rhodesia). I still kick myself for not buying one of those for about $500.

Ouch

Using a sexist terms such as "manstopper" is microaggressive behavior not suitable for an enlightened Forum such as The High Road.

When referring to my Three Amigos the correct gender neutral term is "peoplestoppers".

You're right. I didn't spend enough time in my safe space and was triggered by it.

My Rem 31R, Rem 11R, 1897 Brush Gun, and LAPD issue Ithaca 37s are gone. I do have a few modern replacements. I kept this post war Model 12 Riot because it is so slick and polished beautifully.

Down here in Texas the rule is one riot, one gun:



It ain't pretty, but it gets the job done.

I do like the look of the older guns though.

I just traded for a Mdl 11 in splendid condition. It has a factory installed Poly Choke. I would like to fined a ribbed barrel.

Don't have much use for a riot gun, but this one is my truck gun:
