Hi, if you still have this could I see some photos. You can email them to me if you wish at sco77w@gmail.com thanks.

So a Mossberg 500 ATP of a 1980 vintage has joined my little family of pump action shotguns. It's a little worse for wear and Ive stripped it to give it a good clean but the action bars seem to be captive in the action. I've watched field stripping videos and they just seem to slide straight out of the front. Am I doing something wrong or can these not be removed on UK sec2 shotguns. TIA. New pump family photo to follow

Tees Valley Target Sports. Was looking forward to some amusing random guesses

I'm a member of TVTS. There's an indoor range for FAC (up to pistol calibres) and an air gun / archery range. We also use an outdoor range at moorsome and have regular days at Cattereick with the occasional trip to Bisley too. Unfortunately it's all closed at the moment but worth considering if living in Boro as it's open (when we're not suffering from Covid restrictions) in the evening. Gutted as I've just started work in Boro and pass the club every day.

PSG is a great sport and a perfect reason to own one of these types of shotguns. I had a Bora years ago and have been using a Typhoon F12 for the last couple of years. (That's now for sale too on here) due to having a Tigris on order from 3GunNation UK.

It's been a great shotgun but it has to go as I need the slot. My FLO won't let me have another S1 shotgun slot.

Any takers?

Hi, this is my gun. Feel free to ask any questions. I will take a safe (6+) or a section 2 Mossberg 500 in part ex here's a photo I had on my phone but I'll add some detailed ones later.

I'm looking for a cheep Mossberg 500. Anyone know of any?

Where have all the cheep Mossberg 500s gone? I gad a 500ATP a few years ago that I gave £100 for at a local gun shop then not long back I had a Maverick 88 that I gave even less for now I want a 500 again (section 2) and the bargains just don't seem to be around. Anyone know of any?

I've seen the Chinese 1887s but not the 97

Weren't they a 20" barrel?

OK, I have an Ithaca DSPS and an 1897 and have a real craving for a trench gun but don't want to butcher either of these, especially my beloved DSPS that seem to be a bit scares. That said if someone made an affordable UK legal 24" barrelled version of one of the well known models what would you want, would you buy one and what sort of price would you want to pay? If a clone of a M37 with a 1917 bayonet came out of a Turkish factory for about £750 I'd be on it like a tramp on dropped chips providing it was made to the standards of some or the o/u shotguns that have been coming out of there the last few years. Whats your thoughts?

Hi, are there any collectors here that can give me some guidance? im a big shotgun fan and have several but over the last 4 or 5 years I've developed a particular interest in combat shotguns or ones that have been used by the military and police around the world. The vast majority of these have barrels that would deem them a S5 but my interest is in the type of gun, the manufacturer and operation so UK legal Sec 1 or even 2 (to a lesser degree) I find acceptable. I already have an 870, a M37DSPS and an 1897 but want to expand the collection with maybe 4 or 5 already high on my wish list. My question is, is it feasible to collect this type of firearm in the uk and are there any collectors out there with similar collections that could offer advice that aren't RFDs. I really don't want to bother my FLO at the moment as I'm sure he's mad busy inundated with applications from lunatic preppers wanting to buy Glocks and AKs. TIA.

That needs a little trim I think. Are these pics from books you have? Just bought a copy of Street Sweepers to fuel my historic combat shotgun obsession.

👍 they've recently sold out. Think I'll get an order in for when they're back in stock.

Here's the part. They do them for ithacas too but my DSPS is original and I wouldn't want to go cutting a groove in that barrel to fit the lug. 👍

Where the heat shield would finish is my concern, I think it stopping half way down the pump corn cob would annoy me. I was hoping someone would have done it already so I could see one done. Its not like I'm trying to fake a trench gun I just fancy sticking a bayonet on this shotgun. It's a takedown model wher as the real trench guns weren't so it would never be a true representation of one even if we were allowed 20" barrels.

They are available in the States and I have someone that can send me one but the trench guns have 20" barrels and mine has been cut down (not by me may I add) to the uk minimum legal length of 24". Just wondered if it would look ok or not.

Hey pumpers. Has anyone fitted a bayonet lug and heat shield to a uk legal 1897. I fancy adding one to mine but I'd like to see one done first.

Good to know. Thanks

Yep, what ☝️Said. I’m hoping to add one to my little colllection at some point.
