That's part of the general idea.

And yes, MAX7.62, the ban on folders for semis went away.

OK Here is how I see things. I use my mossy 500 with an 18 inch bbl and improved cylinder for skeet shooting. I did this to get more familiar with the weapon. I continue to do so. If I hear a bump in the night, and grab it off the gunrack beside the bed, I know the feel and how to work it. Feels real good. Very familiar. No kids, no pets, no worries. Shovel's in the shed. Swamp down the street. First load is #9, 00 buckshot after.

Bayonet? I submit if you need the pig-sticker on a scattergun, then you are doomed. The sight of a pig-sticker will not frighten-off anyone who has not already soiled themselves when, sight unseen, you chamber the first round in a slide-action 12 bore. Try this in the dark sometime...

i still like the Idea
maybe a folding? stowable bayonet like on a sks?
MMMmmmmmmmmm ideas ideas ideas
a attachable bayonet mount for an 870
holds lights & lazers and all the snickydoodles people want to put on the end of their shotguns now a days,
Why Not a Bayonet.
Mmmmmmmm

good idea.:right:

[Dennis]

how about this a fitment with picatinny rails that allows for lights and lazers and stuff like that.
then a bayonet mount that attaches to the picatinny rails so you can put the mount on or off and the bayonet mounts in a standard fashion useing a standard cheap m16 bayonet
or make a proprietary crusiform spike folding or telescoping bayonet that mounts to the picatinny rail fitment you attach to your shotgun.

make a business plan, get a loan, Mmmmmmmmm

[Dennis]

oh, and I thought of something else
people get excited.
Sometimes over excited.
It is not un heard of to fire your gun empty in excitement and as soon as the !!!!!!! intruder hears "click"
he comes out and kicks your !!!
A bayonet might provide a nice "edge" in that kind of situation. (pun intended)
Remember the beginning of the film Pulp fiction?
things like that have happend in real life
all the fancy pants snickydoodles ya put on a shotgun do not make the shooter an expert
practice and technique will win the day.
Muzzel accoutrements may give a practiced expert an edge
yet experience proves,
A man that does not get rattled and knows his house and
KNOWS HE IS IN THE RIGHT is the most deadly weapon to an intruder.
That is what "Fortress America" is all about
the lights and lazers only help

I could not agree more; know your weapon, know yourself.

To see an excellent looking shotgun/bayonet set follow this linl: http://www.argonautarmament.com/

An interesting HD choice is the Mossberg or Remington with a Knoxx Sidewinder and SpecOps Stock attached. No recoil and all the capacity you could ever need. Plus, You can leave the gun unloaded and just add a magazine when needed.

Hahah, I thought I was the only one who had a "warning" round, then no mercy after that. Sounds pretty sweet. You all make me want to get 'nother shotgun though, since my poor 12ga Winchester 1300 has only 4+1 capacity (3'' shells), and a long barrel. I guess if I run outta ammo, that's what the pistol is for though. A bayonet just seems out of place on a shotgun to me.. Seems too WWI, IMHO, and we all know how well that trench warfare worked out for most of them :P

[Triplesixkoe]

First off...I personally don't think that a bayonete is a necessary option in home defense. I'm always under the impression that if someone breaks in my house, they are there to kill me or my girlfriend. So I pretty much have no time for stickin someone and I'd rather fill them with 1oz Slugs. I use a Mossberg 500 persuader with six slugs loaded. Its pretty light with an adjustable buttstock, pistol-gripped, foregrip strap, shell holder, and a cool lookin heat shield. It's more than enough to stop the bad guy.

[BattleRifleG3]

The bayonet would certainly be useful for killin' if it were really necessary. Close up fighting is what it's designed for, and it never needs to be reloaded.

Here's a small picture of my friend's tactical Remington 870. It's pretty nice.

I agree with practice and technique, haveing instructed in riot gun technique, knowing how to use the weapon effectively will keep you alive. I never cared much for mounting shell holders and other accessories. I used the Winchester Model 1200 Defender with a sling. I would teach guys to reload any time they weren't shooting, useing loose shells from a pouch or jacket pocket, loading with the left hand. As soon as you get a click instead of bang you pull the slide back and roll one shell into the ejection port and slam the slide forward, shoot or continue to reload. I almost always cycle the slide while coming onto the fire position. With the Winchester I could load and unload the shotgun in the mount without cycling the slide.

warning round? NA ! birdshot is the ticket, big pattern, big hole close up and hopefully wont penatrate several walls away to others bed rooms. we are not shooting very far in a home defense situation. mine is an 870 w/ #6 bird shot and 25 round bandoler hanging on the bed post. And I practice.


hows this for an add on? better than a bayonet, incase one gets a head start down the street

[Beer Forever]

This is a sorry picture of mine, (click to enlarge) but it sort of gives an idea of what I am going for. Unfortunatley, it is starting to get kind of heavy.

[IMG][/IMG]


Since the pic I have added the heat sheild and a tactical light. Personally, I am just a big Mossberg fan, but I know that the 870 is the king of tactical.

I will add a current photo soon if anyone wants to see the finished product?

[BattleRifleG3]

Mossberg is the king of tactical.

[spanky]

nice Mossberg

[mpikeat2002]

I'm looking for a serious tactical pump shotgun setup for home defense. The issue at hand is that there are teenagers coming in and out of my house alot so there are safety issues at hand if I were to leave the gun out in the open for easy access in case of an intruder. How could I have it ready to go for such a situation?

I haven't bought one yet, but I was looking for something that is capable of heavy modification and accessorizing. Shortest barrel allowed by law, pistol grip, and highest shell capacity. I told the local gun shop what I was looking for earlier today and they suggested a Mossberg Persuader. I liked it, but it needed a collapsible buttstock to go with the pistol grip and the slide seemed a little wobbly. Any suggestions for shotguns lik this?

[Beer Forever]

Should I put a folding stock on it?
