* I ended up doing a total 180 and bought a Benelli M4. Couldnt pass it up. Going to have to stick with the Browning bottom eject for the skeet
 . This is now going to turn into a really pricey project*I have been posting in other shotgun threads, but I figured I would make my own. Right now, I am thinking about getting a Remington V3 to use for skeet/trap 3-4 times a year and an sbs host. Pro's are the gas system seems great for short barrels and the prices look to be decent (about $750), con's are they are hard to find right now, and so are spare barrels. I was hoping to get some input on other semi auto shotguns that could fill the multi use role I am looking for, price range of about $750-ish, actually available, and reliable with shorter barrel. I understand the shortage of firearms in general right now, but Remingtons are even worse. Using it for our work skeet/trap shoots is just another reason for me to get a new gun, at least that is what I tell me wife. My fall back plan is to sbs my 870, but I really want a semi auto  .jbntex's V3 sbs is what ignited my itch for a semi auto sbs. |

Quote HistoryNice. I should've also mentioned that I was planning on getting a spare barrel for the V3 so that I could swap out to a 28" for skeet/trap. I know short barrels with chokes can do the job, but most ranges have fudd rules and have a minimum barrel length for skeet/trap. eta: I should look at used m2's. New ones are a little outside of what I was hoping to spend. |

AK, yo. Vepr or saiga.
Or honestly, the Tavor TS-12. They knocked it out of the park. It holds 16 rounds, simiauto, and its shorter than my 590 SBS and my vepr-12 with the stock folded. The Tavor is not an SBS and it doesnt need to be. Its just a really short gun. The fostec origin is quite a piece of machinery, but its using fat ass drum mags and its pretty pricey.

Just get two guns, you're not really saving much money doing the two barrel setup and I've yet to find a good way to store extra barrels.

I might not have shopped around well enough, but I really wanted to get one that was still sealed in the box from the factory. Benelli m4 is amazing in every way, but parts are spendy. And you won't be putting a field barrel on it. Once in the SBS configuration, that'll be how it lives. Which is not a bad thing by any means, but just know that. Buy the m4. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it. |

Remington 11-48. Looks a bit like the 1100, recoil operated so no gas system to worry about. And if your area is like mine, nice ones can be had for $400. After a stamp and a cut/thread for chokes job you'll be into it for about $800 total.

I had already cut it, but had him clean up the crown(as much work as cutting it would have been), thread for chokes and reinstall a bead. What I got back looked like a factory barrel. |
