Hi gang,
I am going to our local gun show on Dec. 4th and I am planning on looking for a shotgun.
I would like to buy one that I can use for home defense and possibly hunting.
Questions...
1. MOST IMPORTANT, What are the key things you look for when looking at a used shotgun to make sure it is in good condition? I know how to check used pistols, but not shotguns, and I don't mind buying used if I stumble across a good deal.
2. I want a shotgun I can add tactical options to (foregrip, folding stock, accessory rail, etc) but still possibly use for bird hunting. Is this possible?
3. Is it cheaper to buy a shotgun already put together with the options I want or to do it myself?
4. Are the Remington 870 and Mossberg 500 the best options?
Thanks in advance for the knowledge!
