Good tac shotgun for under 1000

[august1410]

Not to pick apart all you threads but buying a used gun from someone like FPS or Justin on here is a no brainer.

If it's advertised as Like new and Not Fired by a reputable member here then you are just saving money on the item, tax, and backround check.

I've bought a Saiga from FPS...it was as advertised and like new in non fired condition.

The other MP40 I bought from another member again was a safe queen that was never fired...saved abotu 100 bucks on that deal.

Guns are like cars..they take a hit as soon as they leave the lot. Nothing wrong with picking up a used non abused firearm.

This.

And I will go out of my way to find a "pre-broken in" gun rather than new.

how about getting yourself a rifle? if you have an 870 why bother with another shot gun? get a rifle; a mini, hbar, or something even bigger like an ar10, or m1 or something?

Mossberg 930 SPX. Semi auto, 12 gauge, 9 rounds, pistol grip stock, I've seen them for around 650.

930SPX enough said.

What is it that your current 870 won't/ can'( do for you now ? You less there is somthing specific need not yet mentioned , you can consider your tactical shotgun box already checked off.

With $1K burning a hole in your pocket , you shout be able to get a non-regulated AR. Or wide selection of rifles of all flavors.

I agree with the AR suggestion. start with a basic, no bells/whistles and add on to the platform as your little heart desires. also, if you don't like a certain add-on, post it in the classifieds and someone else will buy it from you.

does fps have a like new/lightly used 22. looking for a plinker to shoot army men with. (not the green ones tho. they're the good guys.)

I'd recommend an FN SLP or a heavy-barreled AR (since you're only 19.)

 

[Gaius Baltar]

what purpose do you want a Tac Shotty?? Competition, HD, or for HaHa's?

I think the 870 is a great shotgun!!! I've got 7-8 of them, can'thave enough. why not put all the bells and whitles on it

-extended mags
-tac forarm
-lights/laser
-etc etc
-ghost sights

Unless you just want to have another I think you've got a nice shotgun there!!

this, and you will save some money. remember, one is none and two is one.

I have some extra money, I have an 870 with collapsable stock already. So any ideas? I'm open to non shotguns as well, I'm 19 so no pistols yet

M590a1, or the commercial M590 SPX, the only pump shotgun that can lay claim to being used currently by the US military.

If this doesn't look real tac enough to you, I don't know what would...

Tactical shotgun?????


Local gunshow find - $210 OTD!!!

1980 870 Wingmaster w/20" cyl choked barrel.
So pristine, the carrier assembly didn't have a mark on the underside.
This was a consignment sale. The original owner passed away, and the man's widow wanted to sell it.
(I called Remington, and the nice lady there looked up the serial number for me, and said that it left the factory in that configuration, and that was considered to be a "Police" 870.)

The ONLY thing that I've done to this, is to add a Wilson's +2 magazine extension, plus, I put an 18-1/2" (imp. cyl. choke) barrel on it. I was offered $150.00 for the 20" barrel. Sold it!
The only 'downside' to this shotgun is the fact that it is not a 'magnum' receiver. (Not really a downside. I don't need 3" shells to do what's necessary!!!)

 

[OH IT'S KINO]

My vote goes towards the Mossberg 590 or FN SLP. Depends on what you want.

I've often thought that something like this makes sence as a HD gun... if for no other reason than it looks less "evil" (and you look like less of a "gun nut") to a misinformed prosecutor and/or jury in the event that you should be forced to use it.

Another vote for the Mossy 930 SPX regular grip. $675 or so, reliable and GTG out of the box.
