Very nice. It is a Stevens 620, right?

WHAT?!?! How can it be "tackycool" without Picatinny rails, flashlights, bayonets, lasers, side saddles, butt cuffs, and a Knoxx Spec-Ops stock with a LOP geared for an 8 year old, cause that is what Chuck Hawks espouses?
Why, that's just not possible.....NO, Sir - you merely have a shotgun..........
(hope you got the HEAVY sarcasm)...nice wear marks

No self respecting mall ninja would carry that sportsman's gun with (gasp) WOOD STOCKS!!! You better glue a pistol grip on there somewhere!
That is a pretty gun, thanks for posting.

I've been looking for one of those Stevens takedown models at every gun show i've gone to lately.

One more Pic of the stock:
I have one 620 in 20ga and also a 520 in 12ga. Yours is of course military marked (riot gun) and adds a good deal to its interest. I sold one just like it a few years back. They are a good shotgun and I like the take down feature as well.

Little off topic but I was thinking.
Would anyone agree the first tactical shotty was a sawed off double barrel the stagecoach men carried?
Can a 620 be tactical if its not black?

That is a beautiful shotgun. That wood is nice and the wear marks add a lot of character.

I fully admit that I am a pretty hard core taci-cool fan but I have to say that's a damm pretty gun. I bet it has lots of stories to tell.

You could say it's one of the first, if you want to confine discussion to 'ca'tridge' guns. The flint blunderbuss qualifies, otherwise--particularly the sort with the tacticool folding bayonet, like this: http://www.aaawt.com/html/firearms/f111.html
Actually I would think you have to go back to the "handgonne" era go find something like the real first tactical scattergun.
Althought not quite as cool as the OP's, here's another "tactical" shotgun ....
Admittedly, the heat shield is a tad "tacticool" but it was an original option with the gun.
Pete D, you may want to tone down the tactical orange for nighttime maneuvers.

I think it was the blunderbuss, mid-17th Century.
Beyond that, I gather Confederate cavalry carried short shotguns, which at the time would have been muzzle-loading, side-by-side smoothbores, if I'm mistaken. A wise man could tell us if they were flintlocks or percussion, but I'll bet on percussion.

Very nice gun. In all honesty, I'd consider putting on plastic furniture if only to protect the original wood. Assuming that is the original wood.

Amazing how much that lifter looks like a M11 or A5.
Tell them what a Savage/Stevens, Browning patent 520/620 ,US marked riot gun is worth.
I hope your not going to Tacticalize the Parker.

Mudinyeri;
The bolt is rusty -- same place many 500's get if you don't brush around the extractor. You can see it in the picture very well -- almost as orange as the vest!

What??? You actually own a functional firearm in NJ?? Does your illustrious governor who wants to be begged to run for president know about this outrage? Maybe you will be assigned to a cell next to the vicious criminal who committed the unpardonable crime of moving into NJ without abandoning his firearms at the state line. Your "conservative" governor says he fully supports NJ's innocuous and reasonable gun laws, so he must intend to keep that irresponsible lawbreaker safely locked away with Bubba for the full 5 years that a typical All-American NJ judge sentenced him to.
All those NJ gun laws might appear to some Americans as an insult to the authors of the 2nd Amendment, but you have to admit that it's hard to argue with NJ's long and near perfect record of almost non-existent crime and absolutely no political corruption.
Sarcasm you say? What does that word mean anyway?

The Parker is as tactical as any shotgun needs to be.
That Stevens would be nice to have out in the thick stuff come grouse season in October.
Taking the dog out. Picking the time of day. Knowing which way the wind is blowing. Deciding which end of the barberries to work first. Deciding on my approach to the dog when she's on point. Those are tactics.
