Gun Identification
I'm posting here because I had this identified as a Winchester 1200/1300 and someone disputed it because of the forearm.
And I guess other people can post here if they can't identify something else. http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/4/...x-D78M5002.jpg I don't think it's a Mossberg because of the trigger guard. |

It's not a Winchester or a Mossberg. The shotgun is a Smith & Wesson Model 916. |
Smith made shotguns?

Smith & Wesson made the Model 916 here in the United States. When it became a large failure due to quality problems it was dropped in 1972. Smith & Wesson then contracted Howa Industries in Japan to make the Model 3000 pump shotgun and the Model 1000 semi-auto shotgun. Those models were built with the intention to displace Remington from the law enforcement market. The Model 3000 was a Remington 870 clone well built but 870 accessories did not interchange with the 3000. When Smith & Wesson was not able to displace Remington the project was dropped. So ended S&W move to make shotguns.

Well now I know what shotgun was used in 1968 Tunnel Rats. Thanks!
And whoever debunked it based on its pump forend needs a better version of differentiation, since shotgun pumps can be switched out. You can base it on the safety location, trigger guard, magazine tube cap, and far better methods. |
