[CurSedVoyce]

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Thanks man, I just started the bidding on it!!

[Skwerl]

started kinda high, didn't you? :lol:

[TheTreeWiseMen]

started kinda high, didn't you? :lol:

D'ya think? :lol: Cheap bastard that I am!!

[CurSedVoyce]

They had sold two others just recent that went for less money and had the light and all on them.... Guess they are a commodity now ;) Sign of the times man...

[lumberjack]

What's the attraction to that model, Rob?

No problem, those 930s are a wicked semi-auto, I'd have no compaints paying $650 for one.

[TheTreeWiseMen]

What's the attraction to that model, Rob?

Cheap, efficient semi-auto shotty, thats all. Plus the fact I have Mossy 500 and can't fault it.

[CurSedVoyce]

Ithaca 37 Is Robs choice. Said it was easier to clear a jam and pretty much bullet proof, pardon the pun. Now granted, we are talking a marine that shot a lot of diffy guns and worked in the armory for a time.

[lumberjack]

Um, the 37 is a pumpgun and as such jamming is nearly a non issue. Short stroking leaves the chamber empty, not jammed.

Not a bad gun by any means, and it's bottom eject can be an advantage.

For pump a Mossy, Remmy, Benelli, and Ithaca all make good guns. I like my Benellis best, for a "normal" gun. Otherwise the 870 gets the nod mainly because it's cheaper to find used and it's controlls are similar to the Novas.

[cybergeek23851]

So far I have no complaints about my Mossberg 535, albeit a pump shotgun.

[Dave Shepard]

I have my great grandfathers 37, very smooth gun!

[CurSedVoyce]

I know I know... Apples and oranges again.. Rob just added it in passing.. LOL...

[Dave Shepard]

I've never fired an outloader shotgun. Strange, I have two of them.:?

[okietreedude]

I too have a mossberg. a 12 ga model 9200. its auto. I love it.

[pantheraba]

Ithaca 37 here...bought it in the late 60's...it's been a reliable performer. I have the standard bbl plus a Deerslayer bbl for slugs.

[stehansen]

I have an old Remington auto made under a Browning patent, and a 870.

[C. Kirk]

I have 2 rem 1100's 1 was my dads. bout in the early 70' . I bout my 1100 used with two barrels 1 slug & bird(modify coke) I love these gun's & it what i grew up on. Both gun are from the 70' . They had some problems in the mid 80"

[JamesTX]

Better check your bid - you've got competition.

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Better check your bid - you've got competition.

I know mate, and there's no way I'm forking out over $800 for a $550 shotgun! Soooo, I bid on a FN SLP 12 gauge and got it for $799 (including shipping).....RESULT, considering I'm seeing them going for over $900. Will put some pics up when it arrives.

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Picked it up today.......this is one kick ass self loading shotgun, can't wait to get some range/skeet busting time with this. Swap the chokes out and you got a great turkey/goose gun. Swap 'em again and you're good to go for deer with slug too.

[OTGBOSTON]

well go shoot sumthin' already!!!!

there's probably plenty of Yankee fans around:/:







:P

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Comes with sling swivels, red fibre optic front sight, optics/laser rail for bolt on extras, 2 chokes and 2 gas pistons to cater for different loads. Here's a couple of nutters enjoying their FN self loading police....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9mAEedYoGA

[Blackbeard]

Evil looking piece of kit there! Hope you've got a permit for that! Nice one:D

[Skwerl]

What country are you in Blackbeard? :?
Here in America, we all have a 'permit'. It's called the Second Amendment to the Constitution. :what:

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Evil looking piece of kit there! Hope you've got a permit for that! Nice one:D

Ditto what Mr. Skwerl said. 'We' don't need permits!

[JamesTX]

Swap 'em again and you're good to go for deer with slug too.

Is that all you have to do to shoot slugs? I have a 12 gauge - will it shoot slugs with the right choke?

[okietreedude]

James, yes and no.

yes youll need the right choke, but if you shot gun is a smooth bore, make sure to use rifled slugs.

Nice looking shotgun!

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Thanks man, tis a sweet lookin shotgun indeed. Can't wait to let loose with it, you can lay down some serious fire power with that...:O

[lumberjack]

You can shoot slugs from most any shotgun, although full choke barrels should be avoided.

[Banned by Squirrels]

You may have to register your new gun though.

Man I wish I would've bought stock in the major gun manufacturers before 11/4

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Register? :?

[sotc]

Can't wait to let loose with it, you can lay down some serious cash in ammo with that...:O

fixed:D

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Cashed in some American Express points to buy the shotgun....and $200 of ammo!!

[Thor's Hammer]

So Rob, did you have to the police and justify it to get that put on your FAC? :lol:

Man I miss my auto. restricted to 2 in the mag and 1 in the spout now:cry:

Still amuses me that you can walk into a gun shop here, say "I want one of those".....and after a swift background check (not a convicted felon and not mentally unstable) can walk out with pretty much anything you want (long guns that is). And NY is a notoriously 'unfriendly' gun state at that!
2+1 Ed? How about 8+1! :P

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Here ya go Ed, looking at one of these next...Semi auto .308 (7.62x51) PTR 91 assault rifle. :lol:

[lumberjack]

Look harder at AR 10's

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Look harder at AR 10's

I did....expensive compared to the PTR.

[Thor's Hammer]

How about an FN FAL or A1L1? fantastic rifle in 7.62 x 51...

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Right, I'm over the semi-auto rifle thing (for the time being anyway).....found this instead. Over $2100 worth of kit here, I got it for a tad over $1400.........

[Paul B]

that looks like a helluva gun.
Does it have a reversible stock? I shoot lefthanded. :P

[Big A]

Nice firearm there Rob!

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Thanks man, couldn't turn it down at that price. Hopefully get to the range over the next few weeks. Gotta love those American Express points!! ;) For the record it's a .308 Remington 700 P (police) 26" barrel (soon to be a 20" barrel) with a Bell & Carlson tactical stock, SS 16X42 scope, sling, Harris bipod. With the right ammo (175g), you can really 'reach out and touch'............

[Paul B]

you can buy guns with airmiles? Hook me up to THAT plan. :P

[blue]

So who's top of the hit-list then Rob?

[TheTreeWiseMen]

So who's top of the hit-list then Rob?

Sorry, that's classified. :lol: But I will be back over in the UK for a week over Christmas. :/:

[Paul B]

just a heads up, that likely wont fit in the overhead bin ;)

[treebogan]

Looks the business!

[sotc]

thats why hes trimming her down paul:D no wonder you sold the ramrod:D

[TheTreeWiseMen]

The money from the Ramrod went on bills, insurance, etc. :cry: The money for the rifle came from all the Amex points that I'd picked up over the last couple of years.

[lumberjack]

I'd stay at least 22", but that's just me. 20" barrels have a hard time reaching 1k. Arborworks1/my rifle is a 24". Farthest engaged target (man's silhouette) was 1117 yards.
