I'm down to two shotgun choices..

Pointman · 07-24-2009, 07:50 AM

1. SERBU Remington 870 12 gauge con: requires ATF monitoring (AOW stamp)

The SUPER-SHORTY 12-gauge shotgun

2. Taylor firearms 1878 Coach gun 12 gauge- pro: easy buy no ATF monitoring

1866 Winchester Lever Action - Taylor's & Co., Inc.

As an alternative to that first Mad Max model, might I suggest this one... not as powerful, but doesn't require ATF monitoring. All rise for his honor, the Judge:

have you had the chance to shoot the 870? a pump pistol seems a little squirlelly.. but I like it!!!!

I used to shoot a sawed off 20guage at grouse when I was a kid... it was fun.

How many rounds does the 870 hold at that length?

The guys I know of with the serbus absofuckinglutely love them.

that is fuckin sweet

I wouldn't mind the SERBU but that ATF flag bugs me- a few years a go I had a M-1 carbine pistol...11" barrel and pistol grip- wasn't a AOW then..

WTF?

Only crooks and the government can have a short barreled shotgun?

Besides, the sxs 12 gauge is psychological as well as deadly..

Came into a SxS double barrel with exposed hammers from someone who needed money....perfect.

Both look pretty good. In that situation, I'd say buy them both.

I would love one of those. It is a semi dream gun for me, but in WA unless it is papered as an AOW we cant have them. It is hard to find one registered as an AOW vs SBS.

If it is registered as an AOW and you ever decide to sell please keep me in mind.

I'm seriously thinking of picking up one of these Super Shorty's
I wanna handle them both (Mossburg 500 and Remington 870) to see which one feels better.

kinda sux that it's a 12 week wait for the $5 AOW stamp
