Here's a challenge- $500 semi for three gun

[narcolepticsniper]

Here's a challenge- I have 500 to make a decent shotgun for myself to use for three gun. I know I won't find a Benelli M2, but anybody have some suggestions for me?
Not counting a mag extension. I can squeeze the funds for that above the five bills. So really $500 for a base gun and extras are just that - extra.

Stoger buddy m2000 now they make it to hold 3 1/2 shells. But with mine I have take turkey duck and goose with only change the chock from truck to duck plus they come with them. 300 rounds no jam nothing. All for under 600$

 

[narcolepticsniper]

Oh. And I like limited, so no ported barrels, and at least 7+1 capacity...

 

[redrumtc]

You can find one for 5 bills

 

[jawn]

A used Mossberg 930SPX might work.

 

[Numidian]

A used Mossberg 930SPX might work.

I'd just get a used Mossberg 930.

 

[El_flasko]

I'm going with a 870 tactical. It should work I assume.

 

[narcolepticsniper]

I'd just get a used Mossberg 930.

930s have ported barrels...

 

[Numidian]

930s have ported barrels...

All of them? The SPX isn't ported. I'd be very surprised if they didn't have some others that weren't ported.

See if you can come across a used Rem 1100 tac 4. I have one as do a number of other members here. Extended loading button, a 4 round extension, and 4 chokes all factory. They run 8-9 new. You might be able to find one in the 5-7 range used.

 

[narcolepticsniper]

Anyone have any experience with cz's 712 or 912?

 

[jimbobborg]

I bought a used Remington 11-87P for $500. I needed to put one of those mag release extenders on it. That was another $80 including installation. 6+1 out of the box.

 

[BenL]

A used 11-87 would probably be your best bet; they're plentiful, reliable, and easy to find parts for.

 

[ALBY]

used 1100. the mr potatohead of 3gun shotguns.

 

[eightshot627]

Here is what mine is:

Old Remington 1100 in the back of the safe unloved for years

$90 26 inch vent rib fixed modified choke barrel from above cut to 22 inches, threaded for Rem-chokes and the front bead reinstalled to look like the Competition Master/Tac4
$35 Dave’s Metal Works EZ loader
$45 Plus 4 extension tube for 8 plus 1 capacity and even with the 22 inch barrel
$15 HIVIZ magnetic fiber optic sight
$185 Parts

So you just need to find an 1100 or 1187 for $315

Now the Old 1100 gets much love!

I got a used 1100 tac 2 for just over $600. Of course, it only has a 2 rd extension with the 18.5 inch barrel. I think that makes it 6+1, but don't remember.

 

[JoeRinMD]

I agree with the suggestions for a used either 1100 or 11-87. If it has wood furniture, you could use truck bed-liner spray paint to paint it black and give it a non-skid surface. Then I would do what eightshot did to his. What soft of shells will you be using for 3-gun? The only issue is that the older 1100s don't accept the range of potential ammunition that a newer design can take.

5 days left, and you have plenty to spare for ammo.

Thanks, but, um, no.

A couple of years ago, I picked up a 1972 Remington 1100 for $100.00.
It hadn't been fired in 25 years.

I found an article online for turning a 'standard' 1100 into a "Competition Master".

Here's what my "Competition Master Clone" looked like, when first 'built'.

I took off the Speedfeed III pistol-gripped stock and put on a 'conventional' Speedfeed III stock. (The pistol-grip just didn't feel 'right' to me.)

The Competition Master "Carrier Assembly" is worth the price, for EVERY 1100!!
Instead of having to 'push' the 'button', you only 'nudge' it, now.

Here's a list of parts to convert the 1100 to make your own "Competition Master Clone".
(These are Remington parts, btw!!)
