Hey guys, show me your shotguns and tell me about them? I'm thinking of buying my first bow or shotgun ( I'm undecided ) and am hoping you can just educate me about your shotguns before I decide. Pic related; it is the shotgun I'm thinking of buying for deer, turkey and home/camp defense.
Oops, I thought I was posting this in /k/. Hopefully you guys can help me too!

Def belongs on /out/ so people have something to talk shit about.
I have a rem 870 in 12g that I dont really care too much about, a rem 1100 in 20ga that I use for birds and an Ithaca 37 from the 40s in 12ga that I like quite a bit.

Ha ha, I didn't know they made an A-bort shotgun.
Remington 870 Express bought new in 1998. Shoots up to 3" mags cause that's all they made at the time.
But my Dad......

Has a 1980 870 Wingmaster bought new for him by my Mom, in mint condition.

I've kinda thought about getting a bullpup kit for my 870 express. It seems like by shortening it and taking the wood furniture off (lightening) it I would actually be able to take it with me going /out/

I've thought about turning mine into a home defense since I don't hunt anymore. The best thing about the 870 is I can turn it into whatever I want by swapping a few parts.
You're right though, a normal 870 is just too long for most /out/ activities.

I remember a /k/ thread a while back where someone did pic related to an 870. I literially metaphorically lost my shit.

There was a guy on /diy/ about 2years ago. Who cut up a real sks and proceeded to post his build log... Idk if /k/ ever found out about it really. He drilled holes and cut out the buttstock and everything. Cut down the barrel to like 12 inches long.. Was so great. Cause i knew someone somewhere was metamorphically losing their shit.
Don't have a picture so I took this off the internet.
8 shot is masterrace
I actually enjoy fagpul
I like Mossberg over remmington because of of how I can chamber a shell, and turn off the safety without taking my hand off the grip and trigger.
And I don't catch my thumb on that stupid magazine catch that 870s have where you load your shells

Quit being a gear queer and ditch the bolt action shotgun. There's a reason why there aren't many of them, pump is better.

If Remington makes sure it was made before 2000, they're just not that legendary quality anymore
Mossbergs will feel loose and clank a bit, thats normal
Ithica has been around forever and makes good shotguns
