Can't get there without a username/password.

Would you want a gun that got F's?

Do they make a Grade A gun?

What makes it a Trap gun?

Looks like a regular Wingmaster to me.

found this via google on TFL, seems like a good explanation:

It appears to have field stock drop, that's what I was saying.

 

[blutarsky]

yeah i got no clue -- i just saw there was an inaccessible/broken link someone posted so i googled to see what it was. all i know is that it looks pretty and is way more money than i'd ever want to spend

 

[ArmedBear]

It's more money than I have sitting around at the moment, but it's not way more than I'd want to be able to spend on a shotgun.

It is, however, about $4400 more than I'd spend on an 870, no matter how much non-functional adornment it might have. It's still an 870, a mass-produced, stamped steel pump gun with mediocre controls and dimensions (nice-handling, and very reliable, but my plain 870 is, also ).

I'm someone that would rather have a run-of-the-mill 911 than a Ford Taurus with fancy rims, custom trim and a $10,000 paint job.

Yeah if I were going to spend that much on a pump shotgun it would be some Pigeon Grade Model 12. If I were buying dedicated trap gun for $4400 I would get a Perazzi like this. That is a nice 870 though.

nice wood and decent engraving

Not all 870 trap guns have the monte carlo stock. The ones with a standard comb, have the bolt hole positioned lower than the field stocks resulting in a higher comb than a field gun.

don't forget to throw on a tacstar pistol grip and flashlight when you get it

Please, I just go through eating!

Wood is NICE on that gun. Very pretty. Not your run of the mill express model. I can tell, cause I don't see any rust.

 

[ArmedBear]

I like my 870 as a cheap, reliable knockaround shotgun that still has great handling. I'm by no means anti-870.

But...

That kind of engraving belongs on a whole different platform. Beautiful as that work is, it's almost comical by its juxtaposition. Reminds me of a Jeepney (and I also have a Jeep and love my Jeep).
