    I was thinking something like a Remington 870 in 12 Gauge loaded with Buck, but I know Mossberg and others have some valid choices. What say ye?

    I've been really happy with $160 Mossberg Maverick 88. I don't think you can go wrong with either Mossberg or Remington.

    I'm going to take a gander the next Saxet show I go to. There is one guy that specializes in shotguns and he always has alot of Remingtons. My dad and grandfather have Mossbergs.

    Benelli M4 with 000 buck will terminate with extreme prejudice!!!

    But if I'm paying then make it a Remmy 870 tactical.

    Rem 870 and Moss 500 are great choices since there's plenty of aftermarket parts available to configure them any way you want. Either of those with 00 Buckshot will suffice.

    My opinion is.... a shotgun is WAY too big to turn around corners in a house.... if you dont have any really small halls or anything like that then a 12 or 16 gauge with bird shot... just for the pure scatter factor.... then a 00 buck shot right behind that :D

    China Lake pump action grenade launcher:

    Hehe. Here's a link with details: Link

    It was basically a pump action 3+1 M79 designed for the SEALs during 'Nam, so technically it's kind of a shotgun. ;) God those are so cool.

    CDNN has 18" 870 Wingmaster's for $180. They come with some gay orange furniture, but that's stuff that needs to be changed anyway.
