Need a shotgun

[C4IGrant]

We are looking at hosting Rob Haught for a shotgun class in 2008 and I need a shotgun. My first choice is the M4 and have access to Remy Police shotguns.

I have also looked at Scattergun tech. shotguns and may go that route as well. Anyone own these shotguns?

Ammo. I have access to Hornady LE TAP and Winchester Ranger shotgun ammo. Anyone have experience with this ammo?

If you're looking at the M4 may I suggest the FN autoloader?

I have the M4 and it's a nice gun, but you have to put up with 922r. There is no one making enough parts as of yet to make the M4 into what I want it to be.

I've actually been thinking of selling my M4 because of this headache. I even got a US made full length magazine tube, so I'm down the path. Even so, it seems like too much of a headache.

I've only shot a few boxes of Hornady TAP but the Winchester Ranger runs just fine. A Benelli M4 would be awesome as would a FN SLP/Winchester SX2. A Benelli M2 (rifle type stock w/ComforTech would be good too).

Interesting about the 922r issue. I did read on the Benelli forum that there is someone making all the missing parts in the US.

They've been talking about making parts for a year. Only a couple of people seem to have come through with full length mag tubes.

As it stands if the person making the fire control parts comes through, SOCOMguy made some full length magazine tubes, Surefire makes a nice forearm, and a follower is pretty easy to pick up, so that gets you to less than 10 components.

I figure I'm looking at another $500 in parts, some of the parts I have to buy when they are available or risk missing the boat, just to get to the point where I can convert a gun I spent ~$1500 on.

To say I'm frustrated, is an understatement.

Understand. My Trijicon/SF rep is also big with Benelli so I am hoping to pick an M4 up at around his cost. If I can, then I will go that route for sure. If not, I might just pick up an Remy Police with a 14" barrel.

Grant:

The Reminton 870 is the way to go period! If you go with the Police get the bead sight, add ghost rings, side saddle, short length of pull stock, and a Sure Fire forend. One issue with stock Reminton rifle sights is that only 2 or 3 threads project into the barrel to hold the sight on (Info from Rob himself) and they loosen or shear. If you go the custom gun route have Hans Vang build one for you. Scatter Gun Tech is just a dressed up Express model. Rob can do some really sick stuff with an 870 and I watched him empty one faster than a a guy could empty a Benilli. Federal LE 132 is the way to go for ammo but you will shoot mostly bird shot in the class and just a few slugs and buck. If you host the class please send me the sign up info.

Ironically, if you SBS the Benelli, you don't have to worry about the 922r BS.

Of course, being in the Navy, it's kinda tough predicting where you'll be stationed next and if it will be allowed.

It's bad enough trying to avoid CA like the plague.

870. That is all you need to know about fighting shotguns. Vang big safety, get some ghost rings from Vang, mesa tactical sidesaddle, SF forend light.
