Indeed! It’s a retired guard shotgun from the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola - complete with a trench gun heat shield poorly fitted (by the prison armorer I presume). I have the provenance on it from Louisiana. Fun shooter as well - especially slam fire!

Maybe you could do a photo thread on that one in Military Shotguns...I know there's a few fans of those, specially the scarce Ithaca trench. I've sure had my share of Ithaca as you may have guessed. A past favorite of mine.

I was going to say - there wasn’t a lot of shotgun there for you to pick up on that with in the pic!

I’ll throw some up when I have a bit of free time.

Military shotgun are the only types I
