What Is This Shotgun?

[Ian]

Or more to the point, what are the accessories and their sources?

Ugly is what it is however I would give it house room.

I assume that is a White Rhino they are guarding?

Looks like a Remington 870. If you google "Remington 870" for images you will see very similar guns.

Remington 870 accessories are available in the USA. The difficulty, I believe, is getting them into the UK.

FN TPS 'Tactical Police Shotgun' based on the Winchester 1300.
They come from the factory like that.

You are right, I stand corrected! It is a Winchester!

I even own a Winchester 1300 - it will teach me not to post until I am absolutely certain!

I think it is one of the last if not THE last male white rhino...hunted to extinction by ivory poachers for the Chinse and other superstition markets.

Chuck, I had a read afterwards, his name is Sudan and he is the last male Northern white Rhino and is 42 years old so far from in his prime, they have two females and one of those is not great.

Another species about to bite the dust, bummer for the animals - aren't some humans wonderful.

Pity they don't arm these guys with something like SLR's, more effective than shotguns.

Maybe they can organise poacher safaris when the Rhinos are gone. Needless extinction of another animal species because of some stupid, superstitious and vain excuses for humans.

The Indians now have a shoot to kill policy regarding poachers in their national parks and to my understanding several African States are (or thinking about) doing the same, even hiring Western PMCs to do the work
