Why are these cute little shits so damn expensive?
Got this bad boy for $100. Marlin goose gun bolt action 12ga. It's a load of fun.
I'm slowly building my Mossberg 835 into a retarded 590a1. When I got it, the barrel factory vent rib barrel was chopped a little short, it had a Mossberg factory PG on it, and it was spray painted black. Literally someone just sprayed the whole thing black with no disassembly or taping or anything.
I removed the finish and painted the receiver and mag tube in automotive epoxy paint. It looks like shit and I may have it cerakoted some day.
I've got a 26" vent rib barrel for hunting and an 18" heavy barrel from a 590a1 for defensive use. I've got a tritium front bead on it's way from Brownell's. The stock and forend are Hogue.
Just installed an IWC QD sling mount in the stock today at work. I have a GG&G QD front sling mount on it's way as well.
>>28619320
What beauty is this?
>>28619458
probably because it's a niche product from a small manufacturer that requires custom machining (receiver and barrel) that is in high demand and costs the manufacturer an additional $200 tax.
>>28619600
My Mossberg 590A1 with a classic wood stock set from Numrich (only like $50, a lot cheaper than ebay), a heatshield, and a reproduction 1907 style sling. Still can't figure out how to get 4chan to acknowledge the rotation on my images, though.

>shooting recently
SKB 600 3-barrel set
>shotguns I've liked the least
Mossberg 535, Mossberg 590A1, all Stoeger O/U's, Benelli Vinci, Remington 887, Beretta 686
>flight control wads+chokes
Yes. The wad does not create constriction, it shortens the shot string to even out pattern density. You still need a choke, and that choke cannot be a wadstripper design (so no Patternmaster chokes) since those do the same thing as the wad and can get hung up and cause a barrel obstruction.
>>28619458
NFA firearm only ever produced in extremely small quantities by a boutique company.
>>28619650
How much did you end up spending on that all together?
i've been trying to decide if i wanted to make one, or buy one of those IAC imported ones
>>28619458
Cause of time stamp.
>>28622047
$400 + tax for the shotgun (used), $55 for the stock set (shipping included, from numrich), $22.95 for the sling from amazon, $43 or so for the heat shield. Plus sling mounts I had lying around, so about $520. I also got the wrong sized heat shield to start with which cost another 40 dollars. You have to call mossberg to order the heatshield, it's not listed on their website or anywhere else.
Parents bought it for me, and I've been stuck dealing with my grandmother's passing and my own medical shit.
I plan to shoot it soon... and I'm gonna test how badly 3.5 inch magnums kick my ass from a wheelchair.
>>28619506
thats really neat
>>28623243
It is a really lovely shooter. I do everything with it, from hunting to shooting trap.
Just got the new recoil buffer for my Winchester Super X. Pretty stoked.
I put a light on my shotgun. Ready for home defense.
>>28623243
>supernova
pound it.
I think it goes rather nicely with my Model 28-2.
>>28623335
The balance and swing is pefect for me, and the action is smooth enough. Not quite 870 Wingmaster or Browning BPS levels, but I'm sure it'll smooth out a bit more with use.
I intend to shoot trap, skeet, and sporting clays casually, as well as start waterfowl hunting. Unfortunately, open wounds on my butt and lower back will make waterfowl hunting impossible right now.

Nova or SuperNova?
>>28626103
Is there any reason why a Nova would be desirable over the supernova?
>>28626133
Less $
>>28626156
then it's completely about your own value judgment and not a question anyone else can answer.
>>28626176
Fug. Are they good in general? I was thinking supernova just because I might fuck with the stock at some point, but I really don't think it's necessary.
>>28626208
I've never even held one. Also, I don't use any of my guns for anything practical so I have no idea what difference any of the shit makes. What do you plan on using it for?
>>28626255
Just like you, nothing practical. Just want babbie's first shotgun and CSGO convinced me that the nova is cute.
>>28619650
>>28623192
Where did you even get a heat shield for an a1 and how did you get it on with the ghost ring sights in the way?
anybody got a better version of this pic?

>>28619320
I'm getting ready to file my Form 1 to convert my Ithaca 37 into a Stakeout.
When I cut the barrel down to 13" can I use a bandsaw or would that be a bad idea?
Does anyone have opinions on the quality of the Winchester SXP or Winchester shotties in general? I might be tempted to get one sometime but I don't know if they're worth bothering with compared to Mossberg/Remshit.
>>28619651
Why did you not like the 590A1?
>>28627336
Sights were too tall, had to pull my face off the stock to get them lined up, which led to every shot slapping my cheek.
It also just felt pretty shoddily built. I know they have a reputation to be undeadable, but everything on the damn thing rattled and the finish around the front sight was crap from where they'd silver-soldered it on and not cleaned up afterwards. For a $450+ shotgun it was pretty bad.
>>28627326
The SXP is the second-best pump I've ever shot, directly behind the Browning BPS. Their autoloaders are pretty fucking nice too.
>for $400 the SXP home defense version is the only <22" barreled shotgun I've seen threaded for chokes and not fixed-cylinder.
>>28627379
>The SXP is the second-best pump I've ever shot
Then it's decided then, whenever I get around to shotgun buying time.
I got bored one day and made this
Its fun to shoot
>>28626533
You have to call mossberg to get it, it's not listed anywhere on their website and can't be found on the internet. To get it on, you put the back on so the front is in the proper position then smack the front with something. It will pop over the barrel. Also scuff it a bit, but if you don't plan on taking it off, it's not a big deal. You need to use a clamp or vise to put get the screws to reach all the way through, though.
>>28619650
>Numrich
Did the wood stock set you got from Numrich require fitting to your a1, or was it a "drop-in and go" kind of deal? Did you also refinish the wood?
>>28627560
It was drop in and go. I didn't refinish the wood, it would look a bit nicer if I did. More polished or whatever. The fore end had a hairline crack, actually, but it wasn't difficult to repair with some epoxy to the interior.
Posting my first gun, a Savage Springfield Model 67F in 20 gauge. I can't find a lot about the gun online and the aftermarket seems to be nonexistent, but I've carried it through the woods and marshes with no failures. If S were to HTF, I'd definitely grab this one. I just need to get some sling mounts.
I'm looking at getting my first shotgun but don't have a lot of money to spend. Would looking at picking one up at a pawn shop be a bad idea? Any warning signs to look for in a used shotgun?
>>28627656
Buy a Mossberg 500 and be happy.
>>28627671
>>28627624
Why is that Maverick painted red and white?
>>28627671
Anything I should add to it? I'd like a light mount if possible.
>>28627694
Why wouldn't it be?
>>28627698
You could get a light mount if you want but try it without first. I keep my 500 completely bare of accessories.
>>28627719
Good point. Further down the line if I wanted to make it into a trench gun, would that be possible with a 500? Really like the look of them.
>>28627732
Yes. Heat shields and slings are all readily available and cheap if you want.
>>28627732
You should get the 590 in that case then so you can mount a bayonet too.
>>28627772
Thanks for the point in the right direction. The 500 looks nice. Any reputable websites to buy it from if I wanted to get a new one?
>>28619320
Please do not use nigger lingo on here.
>>>/tumblr/
>>28627793
You got a Wal-Mart locally? $300 for the standard 500 with a 18.5" barrel, a 28" barrel, a bunch of chokes, and a pistol grip.
>>28627785
Haha not sure I'm ready for the bayonet. So I guess it's really not a true trench gun I want.
>>28627843
I do. That's cheap as hell. Thanks for the help anon.
>>28619320
>>28623489
>>28626255
Nice.
Your setup is eerily similar to mine. The stock and fore end I bought for my 590A1 didn't match until I did some sanding, staining, and finishing. Trying to fit a recoil pad at the moment; been a real pain.
What do you use to keep the action so clean? I tried using Frog Lube, and all it does it attract debris before gumming up the works.
>>28627656
If you want a mossberg to have a dick dick gun that's fine.
if you want to have fun then Rem 870
>>28628086
>Muh tacticool 870
I fucked around and bought the one with the built in six round magazine and now I can't swap out the barrels. Kind of mad about that but it's a great firearm in every other respect.
>>28628725
woah what buttstock is that
>>28627296
You can use a hacksaw and a file, it'll be fine.
>>28628725
Why do you have my baby blanket and why are not-my-guns on it?
Bought my first shotgun a couple weeks ago, a lever shotgun. Just got a question about chokes. Gun came with Modified, Skeet and Full chokes. Been using the Skeet for skeet atm but want to take it pigging eventually, what should I use for buckshot/slugs? I heard you can't put 00 buckshot or slugs through a full choke, is that good advice or fuddlore?
I have a H&R Pardner Pump. I love this gun. I'm debating whether or not to get a Knox stock for it, maybe a heat shield.
> Knox stock $100
> Heatshield $35
What do you guys think? Is it worth it?
>>28627296
I would try a pipe cutter. 20 dollarydoos at harbor freight
>>28619320
Not exactly a good purchase decision, but I have a 105CTi II. I have around 4000 rounds through it and shot in competitively for a time.
It requires constant maintenance and has no support from Remington at this point. They just hang up or put you on hold indefinitely.
>>28623243
I saw your post the other night in the feels thread. I hope you get better soon. Get that weight off.
>>28628981
ATI folding and telescoping shotgun kit like 80$ on midway.
>>28629018
Because it at a yard sale which means it probably is yours and is now completely soiled.
>>28629809

>>28629809
No Anon, I'm looking at mine right now. It still smells like sweaty girl and everything.

Bump, check out my sawn off POS.
That's JB weld on the reciever there. I got it from a bargain bin with a small gouge in it.
>>28619320
>What have you been shooting recently?
Let's see...Remington 870, Dominion Arms Grizzly (870 clone), Norinco 1887, UTS-15, Norinco SxS
>What shotguns have you handled that you liked least?
Wasn't a fan of the UTS-15. Too many misfeeds, and when it does, it's more involving than just flicking out the caught round and racking the action.
I did enjoy the 1887, but when I bought my own I just didn't feel the "spark", so I sold it
I am gonna be checking out a Norinco 1897 soon, and if it feels right, I'll bring that home with me.
>my DA Grizzly
>>28626548
I believe these are the same guns
>>28619506
Is it rifled?
>>28627694
Sporty colors for sporty guns.
My only shotgun, a Mossberg 500
>>28633059
Same action, top one looks like it's 2 3/4 only though, bottom looks like a regular 870.
>>28619320
Muh shorty
>>28627591
Did you need to replace the forearm slide tube assembly, too? I've heard there's a length difference between models produced before and after 2006, and that that difference necessitates replacing that part to use compatible furniture.
Bump for scattergat love
