Which is your latest shotgun purchase?

Mossberg Shockwave became legal here on Sept 1st. Have had mine in jail since early July. Was liberated last Friday. Installed IProtec Light and minishell adapter. Minishell 1 3/4" buck shot with 2 3/4" S&B #4 buck shot for scale.

My latest, VEPR 12

A Stoeger Condor .410 O/U.
Why? I thought you'd never ask. I learned to hunt with a .410 bolt action, and it's the perfect caliber for small game. My wife has some varmits in her flower beds, etc. I was visiting a gun shop in Wisconsin, and just shooting the breeze with a salesman. He asked if I was looking for anything in particular. Told him I'd kind of like to have a .410 O/U. He said, "how much do you want to spend?" When I said "nothing" he led me over to the rack with this little booger in it.
Looked down the barrel, thought, "I can shoot this.." and bought it on the spot.

It wasn't a purchase but......

On my 52nd birthday, my 82yo father gave me his unfired nib Y model 12 winchester trap gun. 30" full.

You gonna shoot it?

My last purchase was a Baker sxs from the 1930s, the stock needs replacing then I plan on selling it. All in the pursuit of a 16 ga double hammer

Yes probably.
I fits me like a glove.
I shot trap with a mod 12 for about 20yrs. I made the all state team with it.

Ordered a Browning BPS Hunter 26 inch 28 gauge last weekend.
I don't need it but, I don't have a 28 gauge and it's a deal to good to pass.

Scored a 12ga 870 Wingmaster at Cabelas for $200.

Franchi Affinity Sporting, 12 gauge, 30" barrel.

Picked up a fairly nice Beretta BL-3 12 ga. I have a nice 20 ga BL-3 so now I have a matched set. Love the 20 though.

Where were you able to find the mini shells?

Geez you guys have some nice stuff!

The only one I've ever bought was an 870 express. It was okay. I tacti-cooled it a bit and sold it to a buddy.
When my dad passed I got a hardly used Defender 1300, and a pair of 16 ga Winchester model 12s that have seen quite a bit of field use.

Mossberg 590

Just for giggles lol plus curiosity can the mini shell adapter be used in any of the 500 series? Or is it only the shockwave? When I first saw the mini shells lol I thought it was a photoshop

The OpSol adapter can be used in any Mossberg 500 series and 590 series shotgun. No adapter available for the Remington shotguns.

Used an ammo bot, AmmoSeek, and found them on line at Target Sports about a month ago. They had 75 in stock at 0300 and ordered 4. When I went to order some more about an hour later they were sold out. To be sure they are hard to find.

A few weeks ago, Rem 870 Tactical 7 round, waiting on a $50 rebate check from Remington for it.

I looked at that 870 Tactical yesterday at Sportsman's Outdoors. I liked it, but did not buy it.

I'm holding out for a Mossberg Shockwave.

Browning Citori 525........ Finally got a dedicated clays buster. See the "Found a spare Browning Citori" thread for details.

Bought a Kel-Tec KSG a few months ago, but I pick up my latest tomorrow! Benelli Ethos.

This is the last shotgun I bought last year. Mossberg 930 Semi Auto.12 ga.

Baretta Silver Pigeon I Sporting. Can't wait to shoot it.
