Best I can say is that my local Military Police Company now uses Mossberg Model 500's, 12 gauge cylinder bore. No bayonet lug. They got rid of their 870's.

Bet if you called your own National Guard and asked to speak with an MP company, you could find someone to give you graphic details. Of course, they would want to sign you up.

I am carrying the Mossberg 500 right now, most of the ones in the BDE are the same. I do think that there are some Remingtons too, though cant swear. Then again, some riflemen are carrying the M14, 7.65, full metal jacket! [8D]

I know it's not exactly what you asked for, but, the U.S. Navy when I was in used Rem 870's and according to in son-in-law, still uses the 870.
