Any Military / LEO Shotgun Collectors Out There ?

[JoeR]

How many people out there collect old Military used or LEO used Shotguns ? Love to see pictures / hear stories about them if anyone wants to share.

I don't collect them, but I do have four that are in my defensive weapons arsenal. 1897 Winchester trench gun, real one, not a Chinesium knockoff, Winchester Model 12 trench gun that had it's stock cut back for ruck gun use in Vietnam, Beretta A300 former British military stainless steel autoloader, and Mossberg 590. All function, all still on the job. No pictures available at the moment

Boss I'm convinced that you have 4 of everything. Sounds like some nice pieces that have important jobs.

I been around awhile, things pile up over time. I have many shotguns, but these four are the military ones. I also have a Stevens pump, 520, or 620, I forget, I was told at the time I bought it that it had been used for training aircraft machine gunners during the war. They shot skeet to learn how to lead a target. Could be true, but the gun has no military markings.
