Lets see your Fighting Shotguns

The PCC thread got me started. So lets see your Fighting Shotguns and short barrels too

Anyone ever heard of the Remington 7188?
 
Is the 7188 the 1100-based full auto?
As, let’s say, troubled, as 1100s seem to be in defensive shotgun classes, I can only imagine how well the 7188 held up.

No pictures right now, but I have three I consider my top ones:
1) Benelli M1 Super 90 with Surefire forend.
2) Benelli M4.
3) Remington M11 (À-5) with mag extension, shortened barrel, and the usual such treatment.
 
Mossberg 590a1, Mossberg 590 retro grade wood and a Turkish pump wood (I think the brand is Tokarov).
All 3 take bayonets for maximum GTFO of here.

Also own 3 of those notashotgun shorties but those are just toys.
Honcho, remtac14 and 590s shockwave.
 
7188 Yes based on the Rem 1100. At the time 1960s it was perhaps the best semiauto shotgun available. It was available in six versions, 3 FA and 3 semi, the other differences were rifle sights or bead and handguard of not.

Remington 1100's can be reliable, but you have to take care of them. From my Sporting Clays days I would see O rings in terrible shape. Change them out and keep it clean, it will run fine. I didn't shoot an 1100 but had a tell tale circle in my wallet...no, not from carrying a condom, from carrying O rings for the 1100 chaps!

Hmmm Ok maybe. I have a early "Rhodesian" FN. Its not the shorter "full stock" model that usually pops up when people talk Rhodesian Shotgun. Its the longer 24" barrel with the standard magazine.
Its marked PATU (Police Anti Terror Unit) model. Im not sure its better than the Rem 1100, just different, like the Beretta 1300 is different than the Benelli M4...and if you think the 1100 has a lot of parts, dont even bother to count the number in an Auto 5

I dont have an original source on the photo. My bet is a local farmer scouting or tracking Terrorists. The PATU used locals (they knew the land best). PATU was an auxiliary detachment of the BSAP (British South Afrikan Police (think FBI of sorts). The PATU consisted of both blacks and Whites in five man groups, to act as trackers and interface with locals both black and White to hunt the terrorists who were largely targeting blacks

All of which are sturdy and significant pieces of solid milled steel. Even the springs are made of thick steel.

None are stampings, and certainly none are… sigh… O-rings. >spit<

OK you got me on the O rings; but I was surprised to find some pretty small pins and bits in my Auto 5 including wooden parts. Still I do love my 1960s era Auto 5
