I plan on doing a similar conversion on mine once mags are available again at a reasonable price. |

Cool post. I remember Mel Tappan was big on the Model 10 in "Survival Guns". I've never seen one in person or met anyone who has actually shot one. |

For a book, I really enjoyed Bruce Canfields; A Collectors Guide To United States Combat Shotguns.
If you guys like reading about them, I highly reccomed it. |

If you want to read a book that discusses the Ithaca 37 in Vietnam, read "POINT MAN". Very good book.
I have a 5 shot Ithaca slabside 37 with a 20 inch bead barrel and an 8 shot one. I would bet my life with them. |

Neato thread!
I'd read about the Atchisson in (of all places) the Able Team book series... Neat to see one! Good stuff. For some reason I've always thought the combat shotgun was one of the coolest, brutalest pieces of ordnance around. Love it. Thanks for the work in posting it! |

no combat shotgun thread is complete without mention of this bad girl,
 I love(d) my shotgun while i was overthere, i took her everywhere, sometimes i had an m16, somethimes a 240 or a saw, but i always had the shotgun. And just like previosly mentioned, the hadjis are scared shitl;ess of the damn thing. one guy at the gate with a shotgun can get the day laborers to do anything he wants them too. We just got some where i am now, and i plan on carrying one again next year. |

Yes. Push the button set into the bottom of centerline of the forearm. Then PULL!!! REALLY HARD! Then watch the gun jam up on your next shot....  Spas 12 - looks cool. Looks REALLY cool. Shoots full power loads reliably in semi. Bitch to load, too effing complicated for what it is, too heavy for what it is, and very photogenic. |

I have heard those same words over and over and over... and from people who own them as well. If the SPAS12 worked as well as it looked it would be the baddest of the bad. The "sucks" factor goes up expotentially the heavier a jamming shotgun weighs... LB |

Wow. That's the first time in a long time I read something truly interesting about shotties.
And it's the first time I can see a truly useful adaptation of the AK.

Great thread!!!
My buddy who is back from Iraq now, appropriated a cut down shotgun for mounted patrols. He said he took it everywhere with him because although the hadjis weren't afraid of M4s, they respected the crap out of a 12 ga. Why does the Siaga 12 have to have a 24" barrel? |

Another unmentioned but pretty cool shottie - fires semi or pump.

Question - have you considered referencing revolutionary war era 'buck & ball' musket loadings? The history of shotties predates 1918, but my view may be a stretch.
Excellent post, USMC_LB |

Thanks ! I actually own an old English double barrel ( 36" barrels ) caplock shotgun. My father found it in a old barn when he was young and the barrels had come apart. My grandfather worked as a blacksmith/wheelwright in their small town and brazed the two barrels back together and added a crude brass beed sight. It has never been shot since my father found it ( nor will it ever by me). Since I was a child I have tried to find out more info on this shottie. It says the name Manton on one side of the lock and on the bottom of the trigger guard it says No. 200... thats it ! I later found out that during the Civil War they were brought through the blockade from England and were passed out to some North Carolina units. I believe there is some connection to the famous gunsmith of England, Joseph Manton. I like old shotguns too ... I just dont consider them in the same class as combatshotguns. LB |
