FN's P-12 pump gun

[Slater]

This shotgun seems to be under the radar, maybe because there are a lot of quality pump guns on the market nowadays - many at better prices. This seems to be a quality gun, but is essentially a gussied-up Winchester 1300 with a chromed bore and chamber. Anybody with any firsthand experience?

I love the Winchester 1300 but I have never seen a P-12 in person as far as I can remember

I'd buy one if they are essentially the same gun assuming I could get a mag tube extension, but then at that point a 590a1 is about the same price and has everything ready to go out of the box

I wrote about my experience with one on this forum. The weapon is made in Turkey in the same plant as its cheaper brother marked Winchester. Both share the same part numbers. An exception is that the FN version's barrel is made in Belgium.

The FN was(is)a very expensive shotgun with a very low resale value.
