Shotgun pictures!

[NIGHTWATCH]

I did flip the first pic. It looked better to me at that angle for some reason.

Zebulon, you can drag the pic right off the screen. Add a color background to your screen and whallah...a wallpaper.
The heatshield was purchased from "cheaper than dirt", no brand name. The sling is from "Uncle Mikes".

I will e-mail the pic 2 u.

 

[starfuryzeta]

It weighs a lot, so that counts for something, right?

Now resized.

 

[NIGHTWATCH]

Now that is a beauty.

You should resize the image though. The mods get "itchy" bout bloated pics.

What I love about that SPAS Starfuryzeta is its futuristic look. I remember first seeing it in the film "The Hitcher". Sharp looking gun.

Heavy? Oh, you ain't seen heavy until you've seen my little friend...

I don't like shotguns, so I only have a few:

Still need a nice over/under, though, running Sporting Clays with my SX2/Practical is getting old

That may be heavier, but if I recall correctly the USAS is much better balanced, even with a drum.

 

[Wakal]

It is. The recoil pulse is very manageable at rock-n-roll speeds, too. Using that shotgun in USPSA 3-gun is enough to jump my performance from 65% to 95%. Makes a B-shooter beat most, if not all, of the Grandmasters on everything except load-one-shoot-one

[Nightcrawler]

Just a few, Wakal.

*grumble grumble grumble* Showoff

Did you get hassled when that USAS was reclassified as a destructive device?

 

[Wakal]

Bought it after it was reclassed. Thank goodness for the '94 AWB...that law left a loophole for LE to buy such a item. The lawyers are trying to figure out what to do after (if) the ban expires, though.

870 PD Turn in Reborn as woods gun

I have been learning (gracious description) to camo a gun.

Tried the Krylon camo paint and got this result.

This thing was a true police arsenal beater, carried a lot but very fresh on the inside. It was in the original 1975 config when I picked it up about a month ago.

Got a choked barrel on the way.

Look out crows!

Winchester Model 1897 "Cornshucker."

Once the 3" Magnum 000 Buckshot runs out...

Then the cold steel mounted on the nose of this 870 Mark 1 recreation will have to come into play.



Close up view of the business end:

 

[Dorian]

That's a nice looking shotgun Gewehr.

 

[Bergeron]

Hey Wakal, I see that you have the JP 1100/11-87 gas comp. How well do you like it, and how do you think it would compare to a muzzle mounted comp, such as the Benelli Practical comp?

 

[Lawyerman]

Gewehr, Where did you get that barrel band on your 870? I haven't seen one like that before. I assume it's a military only mount?

 

[Frenchy]

This is my early 30's vintage Remington Model 17, 20ga. pump. Fast swinging & sweet shooting.
A classic American Upland gun, IMO.

 

[Gewehr98]

Lawyerman, you're correct.

It's the factory Remington kit for the USMC variant of the Remington 870, known as the Mark I. Pics on the web of Marine boarding parties will show the 870 Mark I every now and then. Sometimes the Remington boxed kits are out there to purchase, and will even show up on e-Bay.

Inside the box, you'll find the extended magazine tube, mag spring, lower mag tube bracket/bayonet lug/sling swivel, upper barrel bracket, and the three bolts that keep it all together. If you have a smoothbore 20" deer barrel with rifle sights, you have to mill a slot in the upper barrel bracket for the front sight ramp - the bracket comes with a gold bead as standard equipment otherwise.

 

[Lawyerman]

I figured it was part of a military upgrade package. You just don't see too many military shotguns, mostly the Mossbergs and the new Benelli's when you do. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. That looks a whole lot sturdier than the little barrel/mag clamps everyone else markets!

[Bullet Bob]

remington 870 ducks unlimited dinner gun - early 70's. just had right shoulder rotator cuff surgery yesterday, sorry for the ee cummings impersonation.

well - good old fototime, down again. will save this post and edit in photo later - it's a lot of work typing this in left-handed.

 

[ReadyontheRight]

Winchester 1300 Defender. I need to get a real stock for it. Somewhat painful, but fun, to shoot as is.

 

[laynlow]

I posted this in another thread, but I toss it in here just for fun.



All that's left is a tritium insert for the front sight and a trip to Vang Comp for the barrel.
