Pump Shotgun Picture Thread

[dak0ta]

Since the pump shotgun is inherently American, I thought it'd be nice to have a thread devoted solely to it.

I also think it would be a nice way for the experienced shotgunners to demonstrate to the new ones how plain and simple shotguns are just as effective or even more so than ones with lots of accessories.

Only changes were a sling, barrel and an oversized saftey I can snap off with my second index finger joint. 18.5" IC choke barrel and a Latigo sling. I never even put the extension on. Nice to have if I ever have to "millitia up", though. It normally carries a butt cuff with 1 buck.

That Benelli is well camoed....like...where the hell IS it?

 

[dak0ta]

This is fun no?

 

[cyclopsshooter]

yes it is! more pics!

 

[MCgunner]

Oh, I get it, Benelli swings like a tree, right?

 

[dak0ta]

The digital pattern is really good. How did you camo your M500?

Pump action shotguns are great, I'll post a picture of mine when I get home

Is that a 6ft barrel?

Mossberg did it. I bought it that way. The pattern is "OEM Mossberg". They offer the brand patterns, too. All the major companies have camo models. They do it via a paint dip process. Actually, you can have it done to an existing firearm, too. It's a very tough finish, protects well against corrosion. That's a good thing in the salt marsh and on the bays.

I don't think they use that pattern on the current models. But it's cool nonetheless. Digital camo seems to work better based on studies. Adds more distance between the observer and camo before being detected.

 

[MCgunner]

I don't find camo necessary on a shotgun, but it helps stave off the rust.

Most of these are pump-actions...

 

[dak0ta]

Jealous.

 

[RSVP2RIP]

Is that a Winchester M25 Riot?

 

[HardShell]

Yep -- an oldie but a goodie.

 

[RSVP2RIP]

You betcha, I carried my Dad's old 26" 25 that he had "abandoned" many times growing up. It's why I'm so fit today!

He did trade up though, IMO. M25 to Ithaca 37 featherweight 20ga, then to a 1961 Pigeon grade Browning Superposed, round knob, long tang 20ga.
