Anyone have experience with it? I am in the market for a shotgun and have mostly narrowed down my choice to a 590a1 of some sort, but came across the TPS and it intrigued me. I realize the don't make them anymore, and that it is based on the Winchester 1300 series. I like oddball guns....

It's just a Winchester 1300 with an AR style sight and stock system, that's all. I believe they were even built by Winchester USA for FN when they were produced.

Oddball I get, but that thing looks tragic.

Currently two for sale on Armslist country wide, neither owner will ship. Might have to reach out to the EE here and see if I can find a safe queen.

Is there a setup for a 590 that you can have the A2 style sights? After adding the stuff to a 590, you will probably have just as much money into it, with sights, stock, and barrel porting. Even with that it won't be an FN TPS which is a factory gun that is neat and collectible to some people, reason for the premium. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Only thing I don't like about my FN tactical shotgun is that there is only one pin holding the trigger group. The front of the trigger group is hinged. Why this is an issue is all the aftermarket sidesaddle shotgun shell carriers are designed for 2 pins. Only thing I could make work are the stretch bands shell carrier which I don't like, or the glue on Velcro carrier which has worked ok. Don't know about all FN shotguns but my pump action made like the Winchester version has only one pin to hold the trigger group.

Thanks for the info on the TPS guys, I was tossing around a few different shotguns to get and found a great deal on a Beretta 1201FP w/LPA sights today and pulled the trigger on it. Should be here later this week

1201 is a great gun, light and fast cycling. Basically same action as the Benelli M1S90. A few parts will even swap. I've put alot of rounds through a 1201 and the M1. If it doesn't already have a Limbsaver pad, get one.  Attached File |

What about a used 1300 on gunbroker?? I know it doesn't have all the bells and whistles but would be an equally good shotgun. Good mod it yourself if your ok with that. People saying the FN is ugly but the Nova looks like some space alien gun. Think its the forend I don't like.

I don't have first hand experience but I believe the FN/Win pump guns fire the mini shells without the need for any adapter. So they have that going for them.
