Looking to buy a Remington tactical shotgun

[calsdad]

I have been wanting to buy a tactical type shotgun for a while anyway - and as I was driving home tonite I got to thinking that maybe a nice Remington tactical 870 or 1100 would be a good addition to my gun safe.

I will name this my "screw you Zumbo" gun in honor of the now infamous so called gun writer Jim Zumbo.

So does anybody have any recommendations on these? I did some searching thru Google and could not find much info on pricing etc. I like the version with the adjustable buttstock - is this legal in MA if it is pinned in place - like the AR collapsible buttstocks are?

You're a week late,I just sold a 870 Tactical for $300 in the WTS forum.

Expect to pay around $425 new,obviously less for used.Collectors in Stoneham has one upsatairs for $419(not entirely sure about price)

Collapsible stock is cool because the weapon doesn't have any of the other so-called evil features like FH,magazine,semi-auto etc..

Since it's a pumpgun, it wouldn't meet the def of a assault weapon even if you put a flash hider, bayonet lug, and pistol grip folding stock on it...

They have a crazy looking one at Northeast Trading. I think it's a Mossberg 500, but might be a remington It has this lock blaster at the end of the barrel that is quite mean looking.
I can check on the brand next time I am in there if you would like.

I like the Mossberg 500 with the 9 shot tube bayo lug and heat shield, and add a speedfeed stock, maybe a tac light, laser, and a nice 10 inch serrated bayonet and you have one hell of an intimidating firearm. Collapsible stock on a shotgun doesn't do it for me, though.

I thought a weapon had to have 2 of the evil features to be then classified as an assault type baby killer.Oh well....

That is true, but pump guns, bolt actions, and lever action tube feds are specifically exempted.

Which is why you want a Remington 1100 or 11-87 semi auto. What I did was pick one up at a local gunshow cheap because the wood was in bad shape. (Knowing full well, I was just going to replace both of the stocks )
I also went for the SpeedFeed stock and added a Tac-Star mag tube and six shot side-saddle. A Dave's Metal Works (DMW) E-Z loader is mandatory and is not too hard to fit if you follow the instruction carefully. Makes for a fun gun.
