I like my Wilson Combat scattergun. A bit a variety isn't a bad thing. I, too, am going to post of picture of it if I can ever find the time to get to Best Buy for a new USB cable. Just because you like Pro Football, that doesn't necessarily mean that you can't appreciate a good High School game. WJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BobAsh 582 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I would say use this forum or GD. This is the "Saiga-12" forum after all... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I was fondling some 870's and Mossy 500's at Gander the other day. Man they over price stuff there. But I do love the look of the "Mariner"! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Mossy will do the job. You need something to arm to the kinfolk that come stay with you during Zombie attacks. You WILL be using the S-12, right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtnichols 51 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Mossy will do the job. You need something to arm to the kinfolk that come stay with you during Zombie attacks. You WILL be using the S-12, right? How about getting some sheets on the bed,.. You must be doing laundry. I saw the mossberg today too, it looked pretty good from what I could tell How many rounds does it hold? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motopilot1 37 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 nothing wrong with an old fashioned pump i cant keep enough ammo for my s12 so when i run low i will have to go to the pump Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RangerM9 1 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I was fondling some 870's and Mossy 500's at Gander the other day. Man they over price stuff there. But I do love the look of the "Mariner"! but they have the occasional jackpot in there.....from time to time. mine currently has an 870 express police model (18 in barrel) synthetic stock...for $200(used) and 3 XD service models for $369 each......damn hard for me to not put one of those on layaway..... but i have spent far too much on guns lately......

chris410 0 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) Cant go wrong with Mossy's, I own a few. Great for the money. I too have often pondered why there is no "other" shotgun forum here. I figure most S-12 lovers, probably would be into tactical shotguns of all types.....

Kaiser 0 Posted February 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 Why in the world would anyone want any other shotgun than a Saiga???.............much less want to show pics of them or talk about 'em......... bunch of obsolete, outdated weapons..... Well i cannot afford the cost of getting a S-12 and get the conversion for it, especially since tromix is backed up for over a year i believe. I know of no other gunsmith that can do what i would like for the S-12 so thats why. Obsolete... possibly, but for $200 its better than no SG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joelrod47 373 Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 (edited) aw crap..........I was just being elitist about it........... I have a Mossy and an 870 stuck way back there in my safe somewhere..........just not much time for them anymore. Edited February 8, 2008 by Jeaux E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
THE_HUNTER 2 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I sold Mossbergs years ago and the Ultimags were the biggest junk,along with the semis that came over the counter.ALL of the Ultimags came back.They would jam when shot with 3 1/2 inchers,which it was made for!I would always try to talk my customers out of them.Money talks though.Never really heard much bad about the pump mossi guns though.I would rather have a Remington 870 over any pump.My Benelli semi over that.My Saiga 12's above all!

6x6pinz 4 Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 I bought my 870 18" police riot gun back in the 80's. I have put many thousands of rounds through it and still enjoy taking it out once in a while. It is kind of like owning an old restored car fun to drive once in a while but not a daily user anymore. The Saigas have taken its place. I have the extended tube mag for the 870 so it will hold 9rds and sling but no other mods. for it, never felt the need. My 500 mossberg is stock with a 28" barrel but doesn't see the light of day anymore along with my winchester pump, just no need as long as the saigas hold up. I only have a couple semi auto shotguns that are not saigas but they rarely see any use, just enough to stay practiced with them. Occasionally you need to take the other shotguns out to appreciate the Saigas. Once in a while I find the 2rd mags a pain so I take out one of the other tube mag guns to remind me that the mags are not that bad. There is desire to take out the plugged tube mag guns for just having fun. The detachable 10rd mags and soon to be 20rd drums just make the tubes a waste of time. That is about all there is to talk about the other shotguns so why waste time with a seperate forum section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Makc 64 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 also why is there no forum for non-saiga shotguns? Well, here ya go! I'm moving this topic to the approprite "non-saiga shotgun" section! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pointer 21 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 As much as i love my S12...a Rem 870 with extension,6rd side saddle and tac light sit near my bed at night,has so for about 18 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean.223 365 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 (edited) Just shot my Maverick 88 yesterday...shoulder still sore. I love variety to. It has made me curious about getting a S12 with the gas piston system. Edited February 18, 2008 by Bean.223 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
