    They are as tuff as a horse shoe.Where I live on the Texas coast we hunt in a lot of salt marshes.two of my hunting partners and myself have been using them for over twelve years.NO PROBLEMS.

    They are ugly,crude,rough and work like a champ.Will do anything the high dollar guns do.Probably the best deal around on a pump gun.

    Thanks,I think I will go with a persuader 12/18.5 6 shot deal.Or I might go 9 shot 20" not sure. Have to hold one. And I love that crude ugly look. I don't like them fancy looking guns. This ones for people not birds so it should look scary not like fine furniture. I'm still looking for input on Choke, speed loader but stock "is it worth having" and what ells do I nee to look out for? I want a tactical light. Also what kind of sights should I use. this fiber optic ones look neat. Anyone use those. Or how about the ghost sight?I want something I can see in the dark.

    A BullPup is a full length barrel, mine is 20 inches with the trigger and pistal grip in front of the chamber instead of behind it. The over all length of the shot gun is 30inches. It come with a fore pistal grip. You can see pictures in many places on the web. This is a pre ban shot gun. Yes it is a combat shot gun and was placed on the ban list. Go to gunsamerica dot com, go to custom search, type in bullpup and you will see what they look like.Greg[This message has been edited by gap1916 (edited 09-25-2001).][This message has been edited by gap1916 (edited 09-25-2001).]

    It is a pre ban shot gun so the answer is No.

    Tis ok,Just went and bought the 500 mariner 12/18.5/6345.00 NIB.Nice gun for the price for sure. Almost bought the mill spec 20" but the wife will like the smaller one, and hopefully I won't be shooting this thing that much. I guess stocks are getting low as I got the last one, and the other models he only had a few each left.and the store was packed full of people looking at guns.[This message has been edited by lordskull (edited 09-25-2001).]
