Shotgun Show and Tell

[Ford Truck]

In my search for a Coach Gun, I settled on this exposed hammer Chinese deal.
I put a good recoil pad on it, an ammo card, sling, and called it good.
I did love the old school exposed hammers, but it lacked the one thing I wanted most... auto-ejectors.
Ended up selling it, and continued my search for a Coach Gun with Auto-Ejectors.
Alas, such a unicorn was not to be found.
What I did find, however, was a Kawaguchiya Firearms Co LTD Tokyo, Hibiki Model M.
This was a bird hunting gun with 28" long barrels, but my gunsmith could fix that.
He did, and he also added the recoil pad my aging shoulder needs so desperately.
I added the on gun ammo (of course) and I finally have myself the Coach Gun I've always wanted.
This one... even throws the empties out for me when I crack it open.
Not sure I'll keep the strap on velcro sleeve I added. I may end up putting velcro for the ammo card directly on the stock as I did for the old gun, but overall I like it more. A lot more. It's lighter too. Swings fast. I bet it was a great bird gun... lol.

For a coach gun, I really prefer the double hammer guns as you can leave them loaded forever with no spring tension.

That would be my dream, and I did have a hammer gun... but having ejectors was more important for me.
If I could have both...

@Dean C, that's a cool addition. I like how they incorporated the red dot mount into the stock adapter.

It's nice , really forces the red dot to come into your field of view and makes both eyes open shooting easy. I also highly recommend the aluminum tube cover and clamp replacement it's $100 very well spent. Now I can actually attach a light and sling to the forend of the gun. Beretta is silly for not making this a factory feature, and as a side benefit my 1301 is now solid as a rock. Only plastic left is the handguard, pistol grip and trigger guard, it's M4 heavy now.

My 20ga shockwave is no more. filed a form 1 on July 10th, approved on the 15th. a buddy gave me a wood stock from a 12ga. had a guy cut 2" off the back, and fit and grind a recoil pad. still having problems getting the coat of clear to look good on the stock, but I'll deal with that later. I want to shoot it this weekend. Handles like a dream!



here it is with my standard 500 20ga with 18.5 barrel. there ia a little over 6" difference in length



I have a rail and a Romeo 5 red dot I ordered for it that I'll probably put on it.

looks too nice to have been issued to a patrol unit.

The walnut was purchased in the late 2000s when Remington said they weren’t going to continue producing the Police style walnut stocks. The receiver/action was Police issued but saw very little wear and was cerakoted. Barrel is OEM Remington as well.

Will eventually upgrade the red dot, but I got this thing recently and it’s verrry nice.

So are you shotgun guy’s coming to the intro to shotgun class ?

You guys have some great shotguns I say it’s time to run them.
Not only do you get to see if your gear works and meet your
peers.
The big plus is you get to hang out with me all day.

It’s in the training page it’s probably not cool to post it here.

My mossy 500 all dressed up

 

[jmil]

Sorry guys not sure what happened I’ll try this again. This is my mossy 500 all dressed up with magpul furniture. I used a heat gun on the forend with a piece of 2” pipe to stretch it out a bit so I could keep my heat shield. I went with a defentac flashing up front to keep a lower profile and cyelee ct2 red dot which surprisingly is holding zero after now approximately 500 rounds

Have a few shotguns, but my Shockwave is the most fun to shoot. It's part of the home defense kit. Put a new handguard on it so I can shoot with my thumb over the barrel and added the side saddle. Running #4 buck Federal mini shells.

what brand handguard?

what brand handguard?

Looks like the Shockwave technologies raptor f1

Correct. Well worth the money! Only thing about it is the little screw and plastic tab that holds the top to the bottom portion is very weak. Mine broke within a few dozen rounds of 2 3/4 00 buckshot. You can see the screw missing in the picture toward the middle rear of the handguard, lol. Grip tape is holding mine together which I was going to put on anyway. It's a little bit "mad max" looking but it's a lot of fun to shoot. Adding grip tape and using the push pull method while shooting helps.

This is Sally 40 always by the wood burner at the ready she is a stoeger 20 gauge coach gun currently holding some old #4’s. Twice a year Sally 40 gets to go through the thick brush rabbit hunting. Used abused cleaned once a year and has never let me down in the 18 years we have been together.
