Riot Shotgun
Combat Shotgun
Trench Shotgun

I'm hoping for more of the Winchester 97, Winchester 12, Ithaca 37, High Standard Riot. I am sure there are tons of other manufacturers that produced them back during WWII. I know I have seen lots of pictures of them taken during the 60's riots and protests. I like the old wood with blue or parkerized. Ones that you can tell they must have a story to tell. Maybe if not a story they spent a lot of time on duty being carried around by a guard or stood up in a squad car. The dents and dings in the butt stock that you know came honestly. The sharp edges on the ribs rounded off by years of being held, or the blonde wood brought on by the beating sun magnified by a squad cars windshield. Not leaned up in a safe its whole life.

I think the ones from the 40's, 50's, 60's look great and have alot of character. Who am I kidding I like them all. The more unique the better. Lets see them.

Here's the H&R Pardner Protector riot gun that I made. Not really any stories to tell or any battle scars. I refinished a beat up take-off stock and forend from an 870 Police model and installed the following parts on the Pardner...

Remington 870 Police stock and forend
Limbsaver pre-fit recoil pad for 870 Wingmaster (Part # 10102...fits most non-express wood stocked 870's)
Blackhawk 1 1/4" QD sling swivels
Uncle Mike's rear QD sling swivel stud
M1 Garand web sling (repro from CMP - rear QD clip removed)
1/4" - 28mm x 8" replacement stock bolt (hex head, black oxide finish)

That is the most beautiful HR job I've ever seen. You sir are an artist.

Here are a couple of pics of a High Standard Riot I picked up yesterday. I have a book coming so I can check the date and learn a little bit more about them. I am going to clean it up and take some better pictures. CHL that H and R is good looking.

Thanks Johnny,

That High Standard is gorgeous as well. I've been keeping my eye out, but haven't had any luck finding one at a gunshow or in the classifieds.
