Another vote for the 1301. Not exactly like Legos but pretty modular. Tube length is easy to change, not sure about barrel, and you can put in the beretta a400 recoil system makes it a super easy gun to shoot fast.

1301 Tactical
The Beretta 1301 Tactical is today's best and ultimate all-in-one shotgun for law-enforcement, home defense or 3-Gun competition.www.beretta.com
It’s an investment….that’s what I tell my wife!$1000 is the new $500.
The 1301's have been >$1300 for a while now and Ive just started to get alerts listing them at $1200 and change. Moving in the right direction, but too much for me to drop on something that I want (but have no idea why I want it) and will likely make 1 range trip and then sit in the safe.
That’s looks really nice!!! Excellent jobMy 1301 holds seven (2 3/4") in the tube (+1 in the ghost load and one more in the chamber.)

Remington Model 11. Get it in any condition you can find it, then modify it like this:
An Official Journal Of The NRA | The Remington Model 11 Sportsman In World War II
Just like millions of American sportsmen, Remington’s “The Sportsman” pulled its weight as a trainer and guard gun during World War II.www.americanrifleman.org
'Merica!
This....not Ar style....but CZ 1012 or Impala plus....rock solid reliable and you can build it how you like it for 500 bucks.The cheapest Turkish AR-style 12ga you can find
Beautifully made time pieces of which I have many of them in 12, 16, and 20 gauge. To hunt with they are great.#1......Belgian made Browning A5 I am still finding these at gun shows that are in beautiful condition and < $1000.00
#2......Remington 1100
#3......Made in Japan Browning A5.. These are great guns but the Belgium Browning has stood the test of time. I still use my Grandfathers Browning (it was FN back then) . It was made in 1924 and I still wonder about all the Deer, Rabbits and birds this gun brought home. Four generations have used this gun.
IMHO I would not spend money on a shotgun that did not have a steel receiver!!!!!!!
nope, not yet. life happened. vet bills suckOp, did you buy a shotgun?
That sucks.nope, not yet. life happened. vet bills suck
over 3k in vet bills and still lost one to cancer a month ago. I'll build the funds up again somedayThat sucks.
Sometimes the timing is terrible. The last two guns I bought, I paid for them and the 2 days later had to take the pup to the vet. $500 one time, $1000 the other.
I wouldn’t blame the gun!It really is a shame.
Mine was the Jerry Miculek Pro Series Tactical Class 930, so I had high hopes.
There was plenty of internet "tweak this" and/or "polish that", but I just wanted a shotgun that would run.
The only issue I've had with my 1301 is using old paper rounds that split.

Would not recommend as target, or self defense guns. There is just better functioning stuff out there that is cheaper, more reliable, lighter and has less recoil than a spring recoil semi auto.
And .....these will not be made anymore because production cost would be too high. So over time, the value on all A-5's are going to go up. I'll shoot the nuts out of some 500 dollar POS turkish gas or inertia autoloader. Itll never be worth crap.
But I'm only hunting with Grampa's irreplaceable timepieces a few times a year to keep the value up, and so I can hand that piece down in good condition to my son or grandson.
