A picture of several sleepers... Ithacas, mostly... and a nice 870P on top.



The context was a discussion on shotgunworld: http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/view...02534&start=20

Wow!

anyone here able to fit a side saddle shell holder? I heard the fore-end is too long. know any aftermarket fore-end that would work with a side saddle?

The circular fore end grips should be compatible with side saddles. It is really only the top shotgun in the photos that I foresee having issues with it.

mine came with one already on it, the previous owner had cut out a section in the fore end to clear it. i can post photos if you want

yes can i see photos. I really want a side saddle, but it's going to suck having to cut the piece of the fore-end out

I have an older 1200 12ga. that I love. Only takes 2 3/4" shells, but I bought a 2nd barrel so I have a "combo pack" just like Mossberg sells 18.5" for HD and 26" for clays or birds. Action is smooth as silk, patterns are predictable, recoil is light. Winchester quality for sure.

My brother's Defender is about 30 years old now decent shotgun for what it is.
But still doesn't have the slick action of my Wingmaster 870.
Parts are getting to be a problem by what hear from a few folks I know too.
Which might be a problem if their ever needed??

You guys talking about one of these? It used to be a Winnie Def. 1300. Now it's my house broom:
