Stoeger M3000
Well a bit late in the game, but the benefit of others’ knowledge like Tom from MOA Precision, P.E. Kelly, Jesse Tischauser and other 3gunners. Being the frugal person I am, the pump Mossberg 500 served me well in 3 Gun, but just too slow to load at 5+1. I like doing my own work on my firearms when I can. Grandfather was a machinist and I even built a 50 cal handgun barrel in High School shop.
