trench gun
A combat shotgun is a shotgun that is intended to be used in armed conflicts, typically by a military force. The earliest shotguns specifically designed for combat were the trench guns or trench shotguns issued in World War I.

Not bad for its age. Functions as it should.
Interestingly the photos make it appear that the bluing is much better that it actually is.
Worth a look.
30' full choke, "take-down" model
I just spent some quality time with a few 12 ga. snap-caps. Function was great.
Takedown lockup is...

Looking to buy a WWI, WWII, Vietnam era trench gun original or replica. Heat shield, bayonet lug etc.
Also interested in trench shotgun parts as well.
Thanks!
Looking for old shotguns. Don't mind used or well worn condition. Winchester 1897, Stevens 520, Model 12, Ithaca 37, Western Field Model 30, Norinco 1897.
Send photos and let me know what you'd like for them. Thanks!
I have here a 1906 C series 1897. This gun was rebarreled with an authentic E series trench gun barrel, and has the correct lug indents.
Gun handles well, lock up is tight, bluing is 95-98%. I've put about 30 shells through it myself and if I was not bitten by the AR bug I would not be seeking...
