Stevens Trench Gun 520-30

I fired a Wicnhester 1200 at FT Gordon in 69. Could be what you shot also. It was probably not a "trench gun" as the ones I saw at Gordon and in Vietnam did not have the heat shield or bayonet lug. Just a riot gun.
The stockade sat behind my BCT barracks and the guards carried riot guns, though I have no idea of the model. 1968 Ft. Gordon, GA.

In the early 1990's just after Desert Storm, I was the active duty 1stSgt. for a Reserve MP Company. We had a familiarization fire as an annual requirement with shotguns for the Company. Took them to an Reserve Army base in northern WVA. The armorer took along five Winchester 1200's. Before we were half way through the five were down for having pins and screws coming loose or falling out (of course they were in the dirt/grass, god knows where). I had my 870 that is pictured and we used that to finish the shoot. Must have fired about a thousand rounds through that 870 and it never missed a beat. The company CO requested the USMC M870 MK 1's, but was told no and was issued Mossberg 590's. I told him they were a good shotguns (had shot the 500 version at Security Force Battalion Schools).
