Frequently Asked Questions
What condition are these police trade-in shotguns in?
These show typical holster wear and handling marks from police service but have been inspected for mechanical soundness. The finish may show scratches but all critical components are in good working order.
Does this include ghost ring sights?
Most do, but some department configurations varied. Please contact us for details on specific inventory if sight configuration is important to you.
What's included with purchase?
Each shotgun ships with one 5-round magazine tube. Police trade-ins typically don't include original boxes or paperwork.
