BrenTen Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 I'm currently building Tubbs' short barreled shotgun and have gathered the following info of his guns throughout the series.As we all know, Rico used a shortened Ithaca 37 Stakeout during season 2. It had a Pachmayr Vindicator grip, folding forend and an approx 8.5" barrel. However, that is not correct. The gun shown on IMFDB is not his. He had a non-folding forend (as per Coop's pic in the following message):[ATTACH=CONFIG]5620[/ATTACH]In season 3 he got himself Wilson Combat's new Executive Protection gun based on the Japanese made Smith & Wesson 3000 series. It had a 7.6" barrel, also a Pachmayr grip and, I figured this out last night, a non-folding Steyr Aug foregrip. The gun was matte blue with a black bolt:[ATTACH=CONFIG]5618[/ATTACH]For season 4 he got Wilson's new version based on a Remington 870 Wingmaster in polished blue with a chrome bolt. The accessories were the same and I think that was the prettiest one of all:[ATTACH=CONFIG]5619[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]5621[/ATTACH]As you can see, the grip looks just like this $50 Steyr one:[ATTACH=CONFIG]5622[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrenTen Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Much obilged Coop. I never saw that first pic. The top gun is Tubbs', the second not. The foregrip is fixed on Tubbs' whilst the other one isn't. Both wear Pachmayrs though, so I was wrong on that issue. I'll correct my original post.

jama555 Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Very nice. Do you need a special permit to own a short barrel shotgun where you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrenTen Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Very nice. Do you need a special permit to own a short barrel shotgun where you live?Nope, here (Canada), you can do what you want as long as the barrel is manufactured that way. Hence we have a guy making barrels of any size with his name on it. I have the whole range of barrel lengths, even 16". All I need is to buy a $290 parkerized, matte or polished blue barrel and stick it on. If the gun is then under 26" overall length I need to re-license it as a handgun, but apart from that, no issues.Handguns on the other hand are a different matter. No barrel length under 106mm is allowed. Now that is a real bummer and came into effect in 95. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrenTen Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Cool. Sounds like the reverse here in the USA with the gun laws.I know, that's why Canadians go crazy with shotguns and rifles as they can be carried everywhere (empty). Legally you could carry an empty shotty in a gun sock into a bank and make a withdrawal. Certainly they would call the cops and you would kiss the floor but in the end it is legal. If it was a handgun you'd be in jail. Also auto shotguns and rifles are limited to 5 rounds but we are allowed LE infrared lasers and night vision but not body armor. It's all rather silly.
