Post Your Guns

Heading to the desert on the 26th, figure its time I mount a light on the AR. Very hesitant to buy Surefire since I can't justify the cost for what it is (quality of machine work mainly, lacking) but they are on sale right now at my LGS. Picked up the M600C and SR07 switch. Ordered a Gear Sector low profile offset mount for it as well.

ok boys and girls, i'm looking into buying a 12 guage... any suggestions?
not looking to spend more than 3 or 4 hundred.

my buddy has an 870 express but i have read mixed reviews online about their machining not being quite as good as the wingmaster and causing some reloading issues.

just curious if there are any other guns i should be looking at in that price range?
experiences with 870 expresses?

I have an older 870 that has always been smooth as silk and would cycle anything you put in it without issue. I also have a newer 870 Super Magnum that will jam when trying to cycle the fired shell out if I use anything other then Remington ammo. My newest 12 guage is a Remington SPR-453 semi auto also known as the Baikal MP-153. It is a Russian made gun that Remington imported in and put their name on. They can be had for less then $400 new and will cycle anything I feed it smoothly. The fit and finish is not  the greatest but the gun is built very well and is the best priced auto loader on the market.

I was playing with a freinds 870 express tactical..was kinda meh. Finish was not that impressive, just kinda felt cheep imo.

New 870s are definitely worse than older 870s.

Mossy 500s/590s are still good new.

What do you want to use it for? Hunting? Defense? 3 gun?

I dont hunt at all myself, but my girlfriends family has a a couple hundred acres in southeast ohio so it's definitely not out of the picture entirely. at some point i may go out and try to get a deer.

at this point i mainly want one to shoot clays with, maybe mess around and shoot rabbits around home.

I might also mention that my freinds 870 was jamming but the guy using it might have just been short stroking. You want a pump or semi? Out of your price range but I have heard great things about Benelli's 'SuperNovas' but come in at about $500..I am very happy with my mossberg 590a1, the 500/590 are a bit cheeper then the a1.

On a side note: I noticed on some of my Remington slugs that the slug is loose inside the hull...is this safe to shoot? I assume it is but just want to be sure..

i have an interstate arms / hawk/ norinco 982 12g pump and i love it. its a Chinese copy of the 870 but from what i have seen they are higher quality than the new 870s. i picked it over the mossberg because it came with ghost ring sights and the safety isn't in a retarded location like the 500. never had a single issue with it. the only thing ive done is strip it and clean out the factory "lube" and re lube it with frog lube its super smooth now.

Funny thing you mention the safety as I hate cross bolt safeties like in the 870 design.

I agree that the new 870 clones are nicer than actual 870's, although many of them are heavy as shit.

gnar_rider:

Look for something with a full length barrel with a vent rib if you plan to shoot clays, any of the defense guns with ghost ring sights will be shit for that purpose.

There is a basic Mossberg 500 combo with a 28" vent rib barrel and a shorter defense or deer barrel for a good price.

Or their equivalent versions with synthetic stock and foregrip, though I like the feel of wood furniture over plastic myself.
