Couple hundred bucks in parts, still need a grip insert and a tailhook. Parts for this thing are expensive!








10 years to retirement! Just waiting!

It’ll forever be the “Jurassic Park” gun for sure.

The "Jurassic Park" gun!? SPITTAKE. RECORD SCRATCH. I mean, did you even get the reference above to The Terminator, made in 1984? SMH.

For me, it was The Hitcher that made it famous. The closing scene with Rutger Hauer and C Thomas Howell.

Iconic 80's shotgun. Unbelievable how they escalated in price over the years.

I have wanted one of these for years. Why did you have to replace so many parts?

Especially in light of how unwieldy and clunky they are. Its popularity is almost exclusively based on its "cool factor" and iconic film use.

Kind of the Desert Eagle of shotguns.

Makes for a great movie gun, but a not so great real world uses gun.

I had one for a while when they first came out. I liked the ability to keep it with the chamber empty, rack the slide to chamber a round, and simultaneously shift to semi-auto mode. The pump/semi-auto mode change was done by depressing a button in the forend and shifting its position slightly.

Very cool. I had the opportunity to buy one years ago for kinda cheap but decided against it. I regret that decision, as they are just an iconic gun to own.

Yep. There are better shotguns out there.
