robinb Posted December 3, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 3, 2018 The markings don't belong there on a true trench gun. Do you have any other photos of the area where the barrel and receiver meet? A side view would be most helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usoverlord Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted December 3, 2018 I didnt say trenchgun. Its a riot gun. The markings are precisely where they belong. This is not a cut down trenchgun. Will post pictures when I figure out how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted December 9, 2018 Share #7 Posted December 9, 2018 In the USN (Vietnam Era, Cold War) we had Remington's in our armory, but they were short barrel Model M870 riot guns. They were used by the security teams who were armed with .45 Automatics, M870 shotguns, and M-14 rifles. We would trade places in line depending upon the situation. It's not a good idea to let loose with a M-14 in steel passageways, so they usually were in the rear. The .45 was in front so they could peek around corners, then the shotgun for cover, then the M-14. If we moved into a larger space, the shotgun would be up front. When we would get topside and clear of the hatch, the M-14 would take the lead and the .45 would be in trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
